Paul Greenberg has spent much of his life around fish.  A lifelong, avid fisherman himself, his latest book is, in some respects, going to do for seafood what Michael Pollan’s “Omnivore’s Dilemma” did for factory-raised cows and corn: it will illuminate and educate diners about what is really going on in our food supply system.

I met Greenberg for a drink at Old Town Social last week, shortly before he was to give a talk to diners at North Pond, where a sustainably-raised seafood dinner was on the agenda. Among other things, we talked about the state of fisheries in the Great Lakes - something he’s been studying lately.
