Barton’s writing explores the full story of seafood—from the docks to the dinner table, from supply chains to health impacts. His work weaves together culinary creativity, environmental stewardship, and the latest science on nutrition and brain health. Whether it’s a deep dive into sustainable aquaculture or a simple, beautiful recipe, the goal is the same: to make seafood approachable, actionable, and inspiring.
