Costco has never missed an opportunity to stock this author's paperbacks, so he's gotta be a lefty. I was looking at this tonight, almost bought it, it's a little too perky and the history of (for example) the Basques and Vikings and their search for cod leading them to the Americas was not found during my cursory examination. Seems to be recipes all through it.

Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World
Hardback, Walker, 1997
Paperback, Penguin, 1998

A history of the 1000 years in which cod was the most important catch in the Atlantic, how wars were fought over it, how it spurred revolutions, the important role it played in American, Caribbean, African, and European history.  Winner of the James Beard Award, the Glenfiddich food writing award, the New York Public Library Best Books of the Year award.  A New York Times and International best seller, translated into more than twenty languages. Historian David McCullough wrote, “Every once in a while a writer of particular skill takes afresh, seemingly improbable idea and turns out a book of pure delight. Such is the case of Mark Kurlansky and the codfish.”
