The Fish Market: Inside the Big-Money Battle for the Ocean and Your Dinner Plate

byLee Van Der Voo

Journalist Lee van der Voo investigates the money and politics behind seafood from ocean to dinner plate. Fishers, corporations, regulators, scientists, restaurants, and consumers compete over quotas, permits, sustainability labels, consolidation, and access to public resources. The book shows how market design can favor large operators, obscure origins, and reshape coastal communities even when rules are intended to prevent overfishing. Van der Voo connects environmental limits with labor and ownership, asking who benefits from the ocean's wealth and how a transparent, durable seafood economy might protect both fish populations and independent fishing livelihoods.
