Why people recommend it
Eat Like a Fish: My Adventures Farming the Ocean to Fight Climate Change by Bren Smith is a memoir and manifesto that details the author's journey from commercial fisherman to regenerative ocean farmer. The book advocates for restorative ocean farming—specifically cultivating kelp and shellfish—as a sustainable solution to climate change, food insecurity, and economic collapse in coastal communities. On Freakonomics Radio, the host featured the work across two connected episodes to explore innovative environmental solutions. In the first instance, the host introduced the book as part of a forthcoming episode lineup, highlighting the subtitle and the author's mission. In the subsequent episode, which featured Bren Smith as a guest, the host used excerpts from the text to provide a concise and engaging summary of the author's early life experiences and his transition into aquaculture. The podcast utilized the book to frame a broader economic and ecological discussion about the future of food production and marine stewardship. By sharing Smith's personal narrative, the show offered listeners a hopeful, practical vision for combating environmental degradation through regenerative marine agriculture.
