Having hugely enjoyed Rose George’s Deep Sea and Foreign Going, an eye-opening and entertaining account of container shipping, I’m looking forward to her next book, which her publisher bills as “an essential deep dive into the world of fish and what’s at stake on their journey from the sea to our (and our pet’s) plates”.

Every Last Fish will be published by Granta (hardback, £20) in October. In it, George takes readers from Alaska to Senegal via Scotland, Norway and Massachusetts, from surface-level nets to deep-sea dredgers, “and from the Yorkshire ‘fishwives’ who successfully called for better safety on fishing boats to the activists in Africa attempting to sue exploitative and polluting international companies”. She asks whether fishing can ever return to sustainable levels and when the fish will simply be gone.
