Produktinformasjon

An all-in-one deep dive into the Atlantic herring and its far-reaching dominions.This book contains almost everything you didn''t know you needed to know about Atlantic herrings. (Pacific and Baltic varieties are in there too.) Herrings make the world bigger: with spawnings seen from space, a trillion individuals make this one of the tastiest and most abundant vertebrates on Earth.From ''A Beginning'' to ''Zuiderzee'', count the wars fought over herrings; don''t forget Scotland vs the Holy Roman Empire. The herring''s high-pitched farts were logged as Soviet submarines, and one herring joke featured in a Jonson play, four Shakespeare plays and the glorious, suppressed fantasia Nashes Lenten Stuffe. Herrings mock taxonomists; physically change with sea temperature and salinity; stuff predators full to bursting, then swim away.The Great Sardine Litigation? The true history of kippers? Bloaters? Reds? Chopped herring? Shuba? All this and more. Between sustainable fishery genetics, sixteenth-century Bavaria''s ''Herrings, herrings, stinking herrings'', and Van Gogh''s ear, every entry is a story, a comic journey, an adventure. Some even come with recipes.
