To catch a fish : essays on the joy, frustration, curiosity, and allure of fishing / Mark Kurlansky ; illustrations by Bri Dostie.
"From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch"-- Provided by publisher.
