One Fish, Two Fish, Crawfish, Bluefish
Template:Short description Template:Italic title One Fish, Two Fish, Crawfish, Bluefish: The Smithsonian Sustainable Seafood Cookbook (Template:ISBN) 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.
