About Every Last Fish: Rose George - Quayside

Fearless and dogged, Rose George began her journalism career as an intern at The Nation in New York, and has since written for the New York Times, Guardian and Independent.

Every Last Fish: What Fish Do For Us and What We Do To Them is a shocking expose of the fishing industry’s misdeeds. An essential deep-dive it asks what’s at stake as industrial trawlers decimate our seas, and looks inside the colossal and often dangerous illegal fishing trade.

Praised for a book with ‘heart, heat, and wit’ Rose heads out to sea on a variety of boats to introduce us to the lives of those who fish, from Alaska to Senegal via Scotland, Norway, and Massachusetts.

She asks, can fishing ever return to sustainable levels, and when will fish just simply be gone.

Rose’s books include A Life Removed, exploring the lives of those displaced by Liberia’s wars, The Big Necessity on human waste, Deep Sea and Foreign Going, and Nine Pints: A Journey Through Money, Medicine, And Mysteries of Blood.
