Eat Like a Fish: My Adventures as a Fisherman Turned Restorative Ocean Farmer
JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER
IACP Cookbook Award nominee
In the face of apocalyptic climate change, a former fisherman shares a bold and hopeful new vision for saving the planet: farming the ocean. Here Bren Smith--pioneer of regenerative ocean agriculture--introduces the world to a groundbreaking solution to the global climate crisis.
A genre-defining "climate memoir," Eat Like a Fish interweaves Smith's own life--from sailing the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers to developing new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement--with actionable food policy and practical advice on ocean farming. Written with the humor and swagger of a fisherman telling a late-night tale, it is a powerful story of environmental renewal, and a must-read guide to saving our oceans, feeding the world, and--by creating new jobs up and down the coasts--putting working class Americans back to work.

Bren Smith is not just an ocean farmer – he is an enthusiastic supporter of its ecological benefits and wider implications. Smith set up his 20 acre farm for $20,000 + $1,000/year annual rent, and shows how the reader can do this too.
Through this autobiography, which intertwines with information about ocean farming, Smith shows how he came to the conclusion that ocean farming will be necessary to feed the world’s growing population as climate change brings heat and drought. For him, the only unknowns will be how long it will take to become a major food source and how it will be structured.
There is a difference between ocean farming and aquaculture. Ocean farming takes place in the ocean so that plants (seaweed) and animals (shell fish) are raised in their natural habitat. Aquaculture is comprised of man made fish environments. These have not replicated ocean conditions, for instance, they have not fully solved the reproduction process. One story about tank-raised salmon escaping demonstrates the problem.
As it is now, consumers do not always know if the products they buy are from real or man made ocean environments.
There is a lot on the current infrastructure of ocean farming and its position within the US economy. GreenWave, (www.greenwave.ogr) a non-profit set up by Smith, has encouraged ocean farming entrepreneurship in all ocean bordered states. The chapter on “A Shared Vision” has an impressive recount of the groups and initiatives in support of ocean farming and goals for the keeping this style of farming sustainable.
While farming like this has been around for centuries, my first brush with it was this spring through a mystery novel. In Shooting at Loons a murder takes place on a North Carolina ocean farming plot. I was surprised that something like this had not caught on. This book was written in 1995, so Smith’s description of all that is happening makes me wonder how I have missed it.

An enjoyable but shocking read as told by a sea fisherman turned ocean farmer. Those that think global warming is a hoax will do themselves well by reading this enhanced work of art. Over fishing, pollution, and complete ignorance by man is destroying what man has always cherished and that is the sea. Seems the slowest to change is America, always has always will. New Foundland is the place to be! With their deep history in sea life, both good and bad, Bren Smith is has taken a bold step, indeed he has, only hope is people of this planet wake up, politicians stop the needless bantering, and corporations your days are numbered. Common people with desire to save the ocean and knowledge to start an ocean farm will see to it that the masses will have food from the sea. This good work will and should put a scare in any reader who opens this work and learns the beginning of survival. No joke folks! This is real and happening right this minute.

Best book I’ll read in 2022. Only 4 days in but already callin’ it

I listened to the audiobook and y’all, this book was so much more interesting than I expected. And that is 100% because Bren Smith is an interesting dude. Don’t let anyone say a book about kelp farming can’t be great. I have ordered kelp jerky to try and I hope I like it!
Update: not a fan of the kelp jerky. Maybe kelp noodles will be better.

I'm so glad fafa lent me this book. My class on fisheries & aquaculture's syllabus is centered around teaching mistakes from the past on how to set up food systems using the ocean, but this book answered the question of how do we not repeat those mistakes in the future. If you need a book to get out of a doom and gloom spiral ab the climate i would def recommend this book. I also loved the swimming with the sharks part. I feel like it's experiential knowledge being told in an approachable story like this that will convince ppl we can't fund climate solutions through impact investing?
Only thing I wish was in there were more citations and a clearer explanation of how kelp sequesters carbon, and how the carbon credit system works. Kelp can only take as much carbon from the atmosphere as is in the water from mechanical mixing, and carbon credits usually only take carbon that is stored long-term (I think)

This is a hybrid book that shouldn’t work, but does. The most enjoyable part of it is the memoir that opens the book, truly a fish tale. The entire book is a first-person narrative, but as Smith’s life focuses more and more on his ocean farming (vertical farming of kelp and shellfish) and the founding of a nonprofit organization to help others do this, the memoir shares space with pot histories, thoughts about agriculture and climate change, how-to sections, and visions of the future, ending with his excellent Principles of Restorative Ocean Agriculture and kelp recipes.
Smith is somehow a first-class writer and thinker (his greatly downplayed law school years might have played a part), and he makes the great majority of his detours interesting. He’s also very good at giving other people credit where it is due.

Thanks to Robert for bringing this to my attention. Smith describes what seems like content for six or seven lives. Every time he mentioned how old he was at the time of some event, I was stunned—how could he have been through all that by just that age?
Which highlights what a resilient and determined person he is. I hope his dream really does take hold.
Also, I expect kudos are due to his editor. This can’t have been an easy mass of adventures, instructions, encounters, emotions, and visions to shape into a coherent structure. As delivered, it certainly kept me turning pages.

OUTSTANDING !! ocean farming is the 🗣FUTURE🗣
February 17, 2022
Such a interesting idea and biography
April 6, 2020
Stories about his days as a fisherman were lots of fun and I like his tone. Definitely learned a lot about 3D ocean farming. Could have shed 50+ pages; there were some points that didn't really hit home, such as listing other people in his field without telling enough of their story to get the reader to really care about that person. That said, there's a lot of cool ideas in this book, which is very approachable, likely even for skeptics. Now I want to try kelp noodles!

Everyone who gives a crap about the world should read/listen to this and be open to new ideas. This really is great for people who think hipster are stupid and the idea they have don't work for our wonderful blue collar population. It opened my mind to things I can do.

I just finished this book. Well, more accurately, I finished the book, immediately went to the powells books website, ordered a copy for me to have and potentially lend, added two more books to the order to get above the free shipping threshold, and now I’m here.
Going in, there was a lot of reasons this book was likely to find its audience in me. It is about the future of food and cooking, sustainable and regenerative farming, preservation and of restoration the health of the oceans, practical approaches to confronting and adapting to the climate crisis, and ways of looking at all of these that should appeal lots of different minded folks. It intersected with a lot of things I find interesting even if, on its face, the overall thrust of the book could simplistically be stated as, “We should have more small seaweed and shellfish farms.”
The best way I can think of to describe the book as a whole is this. Imagine you are at a party. A party for grown-ups where the wine has been carefully selected and the hors d’oeuvres tastefully displayed. The music is present by understated to the point of being only noticeable with a bit of effort. The generic small talk is universal and you’ve had largely the same conversation several times now. At one point you find yourself separated from the other groups of folks and next to a person that looks not quite comfortable here. Maybe they’re fidgeting with a drink or maybe they are dressed in a way that makes them stand out.
You are a polite person of course and you ask them their name, content to go through the same conversation once more. But after you ask them what they do, something happens. There is a light behind their eyes as they start to answer and you don’t get the one liner from the top of their LInkedIn profile but the maybe a question, or the start of a larger story. In any case in doesn’t stop, there is a momentum to their speech now and despite the fact that this was never how this conversation was planned to go, it is easy to be carried away by the fact that this person, this odd human, is clearly and sincerely passionate about what they are talking about it and they think you should be too. They think it’s important and they’d like to teach you about it. Not in a condescending way, but almost in the way a good friend might try and expose their friends to a new hobby they’ve become enamored with.
Before you know it you’ve been talking about this thing, this thing that you previously had never really considered for more than a few minutes at a time, you’ve been talking about this thing for an hour or two and you feel like you could keep going. That’s how I felt reading this book. I don’t know if others will too, but I loved it and it absolutely had me considering the viability of starting a small seaweed and shellfish farm.

We talked about book genres last time and Penguin describes this one as a genre defining "Climate Memoir". I spend a lot of my week sorting through media briefs to put together a fortnightly document for the QCC that lists all the relevant and interesting environment and climate related stories for their member groups. So when I heard Bren being interviewed on The Conversation Hour I was naturally interested. He seemed to have a good idea; one of those ideas where one good thing builds on another - clean and deacidify the ocean while absorbing carbon, while creating a healthy ecosystem for other creatures, while creating a good living for a relatively low capital input, while providing good healthy food. Not only that but it could be scaled up to make a real impact. So I wrote the name of the book down on my wish list and here we are.
I liked the way the the story wove his life story into the what ends up as the author's prescription for saving a lot of the world's problems. His early life on the trawler boats was particularly interesting for its daring do as well as the insight it gave into the wild west world of ocean fishing. Given what he describes of the harvesting process - basically take whatever you can get and hope not to get killed in doing it - its not surprising that the world is now suffering from gross overfishing.
What is surprising is his story of finding a new path, while staying true to his love of the ocean. In fact he seems to develop a deeper love for the ocean once he starts to work with the ocean rather that pillages from it. But its the back story that shows us where he gets his grit and determination from to stick at finding a new way to farm the ocean; not only that but its the same backstory that shows why he develops such respect for the ocean that leads him to finding a way to farm the ocean without creating even more of a problem with the pollution caused by the commercial salmon farms. And finally, its his practical hands on background that weaves the story finally into a how to - he wants us all to feel we can be involved in this climate solution, whether its taking on a small ocean holding ourselves (complete with detailed instructions of how to string your lines) or how to cook with seaweed and mussels.
Whether we take up either of those options or not the book is still thought provoking and gives us some hope that solutions and novel ideas are out there that will help us navigate through the changing climate ahead.
On a sober note its been reported this week that the heat wave in the north west of the US/Canada area last week caused the death of an estimated 1 billion shell fish - "cooked to death" according to Christopher Harley, professor of zoology at the University of British Columbia, who discovered thousands of dead mussels, clams, sea stars and snails along the Salish Sea coastline and calculated that there are likely millions more across the country. Temperatures of >50 degrees were recorded. A local oyster farmer reported losing some of his crop. But like Bren, hopefully his industry will pull together and they can get going again because it seems very worthwhile.

4.2 ��️ took me a long time to finish this book. it was definitely very interesting, looking into a world i know nothing about. some parts dragged, some were repeated, and towards the end the order did not make as much sense. but still, a good book. if you have any interest in sustainability, farming, etc- you‘d enjoy

This book hit all the marks for me. Really enjoyed

Compelling read. Smith weaves a few different storylines and points together well (his story, ocean aquaculture, history of eating sea greens, environmentalism and climate change, and others). His case for the future of ocean farming is laid out well and very clear. Only criticism is a few passages from the beginning felt like they were repeated verbatim from the beginning, but it was minor and the points he reiterated were important.
Highly recommend for those interested in seafood, climate change, and agriculture

A truly remarkable insight into the developing industry of ocean agriculture, told by a man with an inspiring passion for the craft. A man who dropped out of school at 16 and spent his life working on boats, he is still more able to string a sentence together than my poor illiterate friend Oliver ‘I’m scared of silence’ Attwood.

I saw this on the "new books" shelf and was intrigued because someone I know works in this field and is super depressed about the oceans, and we all should be concerned. The beginnings of this book were the best parts - his years working on boats, working super hard. Then the oceans get fished out and he begins to convert to farming in the ocean, specifically, in the end, growing seaweed, which we should call sea vegetables, so that more people will eat them. There's a lot in here about climate change which is such a hard reality to face.
Takeaway: eat more sea vegetables. Climate change is going to change land farming practices.
And, we need to restore the oceans.

As my friend who accidentally works with seaweed would say, "I guess the kelp people have gotten you too."
Which is to say, I have been googling recipes for kelp stuff since we decided to move to Alaska and this book only reinforced my conviction that we gotta eat more kelp.

Fascinating topic combined with a the narrative of the authors life. Great combination of humour, storytelling, and descriptive facts. Very easy and enjoyable read

Very very interesting, until it becomes a manual for how to start your own seaweed farm. Maybe I'll come back to that part of it when I decide to change my life and move to the ocean.

Delicious! Nutritious! Restorative! This book is vaguely American dream like, vaguely spiritual, very interesting history, and full of interesting nested stories. It’s focused on what Smith calls “blue collar environmentalism” and not conservation but steps in a just transition and regenerative food system trying to break out of the industrialized linear economy. (There are some slightly Malthusian undertones about food production without looking at distribution but paired fine with the argument of climate change shifting resources / changing heat, water, and land profiles making it hard to grow, plus that this is a remediation and job creation tool either way.) The writing … leaves a little to be desired honestly, but it feels so good to read this book! Rather than anxiety and doom and gloom, reading this before bed helped me (literally hah) dream of a better and more beautiful future and hopeful ideas of meaningful good work and opportunity to better the planet in an integrative way for human health and ecosystem restoration and a just transition — esp for the industrialized ocean food system. (It also gave me “the ocean loves us🥰” warm fuzzies.) True to his stated dreams of accessibility, this book also serves as a “how to guide” and he really shows you that, you too literally can go start a kelp farm right now if you want, complete w recipes and favorite species of kale. My biggest issue with this book, is that when he’s telling stories he doesn’t give them years so it’s hard for me to root myself in when things are happening. Bren is also refreshingly upfront about his white man privilege and learning about and being aware of need to radically change … although some pieces still feel a little whitewashed he’s clear about history and indigenous and ancient food systems.

“The time has come to return from whence we came. What a beautiful tale this could be about the return of a prodigal nation. We were founded as a maritime country. More of US territory is located underwater than above. Every other breath we breathe comes from ocean ecosystems. If the pioneering spirit of the 19th century was captured by the instruction to “go west, young man,” then this book is a 21st-century call for a generation to head out to sea.”
Bren Smith executes his intentions clearly in this work that is part memoir, part marine biology lesson, and all-around persuasive essay addressing how exactly we have already set our futures up for failure and what we can do to trudge a path forward toward an equitable and bountiful outlook in the ocean farming industry and elsewhere. With generous detail, Bren dives into his past and current struggles and highlights a career that has proven both profitable for himself and positively impactful for the community and ecosystem in which he operates. He builds upon this to unveil to his audience just how important one person can be in launching positive programs and leading the way forward toward a healthier diet for the planet. This book truly is "a call for a generation to head out to sea," that emphasizes throughout that this time we need to do it right.

Eat Like a Fish: My Adventures As A Fisherman Turned Restorative Ocean Farmer by Bren Smith (Alfred A. Knopf 2019) (338.3714) (3580).
This is the “Greenest” book I have ever read. Author Bren Smith makes a completely convincing case that “restorative ocean farming” is the method by which the world can continue to meet the food requirements of earth’s exploding population.
Well ok. I fully expected this book to be a “how-to” manual for the ecologically endorsed approach to raising salmon or some other finfish in a vast ocean pen. Astonishingly, author Bren Smith quickly produces figures which conclusively demonstrate that the farming of finfish is at least as harmful to the environment as chasing wild stocks of ocean fish.
From his home “ocean farm” on the Connecticut coast, Smith has demonstrated in the Long Island Sound that his style of ocean farming is not only non-polluting, it even filters and removes nitrogen from the seawater. This is absolutely what the earth needs, because traditional land-based monoculture corporate farming (1) guarantees increased global warming as shit-tons of excess fertilizer (nitrogen) drain into the ocean as farm run-off, and (2) it requires the application of greater and greater concentrations of poison pesticides which wind up on consumers’ plates.
Smith’s style of “restorative ocean farming” features principal crops of kelp, mussels, and oysters which live and thrive in different levels of the water column and do nothing but clean the water of excess nitrogen as a bonus! This style of farming does not require the application of either fertilizer or pesticide, it reduces global warming, and the end products are delicious.
One further advantage of Smith's “restorative ocean farming” approach is that the costs associated with this style are dirt cheap compared to the costs involved in land-based farming.
This restorative ocean farming approach seems like a win-win situation across the board.
Smith and his cronies have created and built from scratch the “supply chain” infrastructure required to put living ocean foods onto consumers’ plates. The speedy transportation and delivery systems necessary to bring these fresh-from-the-water vegetables and shellfish directly to world-wide markets are now in place.
This book has completely convinced me that this approach is a positive step toward making it possible for humans to be able to survive on the planet that we have treated so poorly for so long.
My rating: 7.25/10, finished 10/10/21 (3580).

Got this after hearing Bren speak on the radio one day. Such a great read....would highly recommend for everyone to read. I had been looking into seaweed farming for the past year or so and this was a fancinating insight to its growth as an industry, the benefits ecologically and the business side of it. Really interesting to hear Brent's background and how that played into starting greenwave. We have integrated local seaweed to our daily diets and are loving it!

Truly excellent. The audiobook is very well done. Smith has a unique story to tell. I had zero interest in shellfish farming but am interested in ocean issues. I loved being immersed in his world and his unique environmental viewpoint. I will likely
Be obnoxiously recommending this book to everybody I can.

This book is so far beyond Greenpeace, and a dead polar bear. It is hard reading on the destruction the “big Wall Street companies are doing in the name of feeding you your next McDonald’s fish sandwich, and yet, the author offers you a plan, If you are just willing to pull your head out of the sand.

One of the best books I've ever read. I was scared at the end there when he started talking like a tech startup, but he pulls back and the reality and connection to humanity he returns to is a critical part of the story. He actually sees the potential problems and wants to avoid them. It's changed my outlook for the better and I want to learn more.
