In celebration of the fish, shellfish, and plants we eat from our oceans, lakes, and rivers (in other words, Blue Food) and in collaboration with the PBS docuseries Hope in the Water, award-winning chef and TV host Andrew Zimmern and leading sustainable seafood expert and educator Barton Seaver present a seafood bible looking at Blue Food from water to plate: a tangible, delicious cookbook for how to best buy, prepare, and cook from our oceans and waterways sustainably.
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.
