Well written. Very interesting look at history from the standpoint of a food source. Made me look for other books to cover bits of history mentioned in this one. Closes with a fine selection of useable, historic cod recipes.

Mr. Kurlansky did his homework. I enjoyed the book but didn't make it all the way through. I found the part about the history of the fish with the Catholic church particularly interesting.

A really great little book and a wonderfully insightful history of cod and it's destruction by humans. The ending wasn't entirely inspiring but the book was overall great!
