Last updated

One Fish, Two Fish, Crawfish, Bluefish: The Smithsonian Sustainable Seafood Cookbook ( ISBN   1-58834-169-0) is a collection of 150 seafood recipes specifically chosen for their environmental sustainability. [1] It was written by Carole C. Baldwin and Julie H. Mounts, illustrated by Charlotte Knox, and published in October 2003 by Smithsonian Institution Press.

Baldwin worked on a shrimp trawler as a marine biologist, where she observed problems with the fishing industry such as bycatch. [2] This experience prompted her to begin working on the book, which she described as a "marine conservation project in the form of a cookbook." [3]

Baldwin collaborated with Mounts, a research associate at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. [4] They compiled a list of 86 fish species present in the United States and sent out a request for recipes to chefs across the country. Recipes from Wolfgang Puck, Alice Waters, Julia Child, and Charlie Trotter are featured in the cookbook. [5] [6]

The title of the book is a reference to One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish , a popular children's book by Dr. Seuss.
