In Salmon, Peter Coates examines the fish from the differing perspectives of those who have eaten it, pursued it, pondered its meaning and absorbed it into culture and art. Ranging from Nova Scotia to Norway and from Korea to California, he tells the evolutionary, ecological and cultural stories of the salmon that has been variously revered, depended upon and abused by humans. The result is an innovative biography of a species that will delight anyone who has ever eaten or tried to catch this charismatic fish.

Industry Reviews

'an engagingly written and handsomely produced account of a phenomenal fish.' - The Independent 'The words flow as easily and clearly as a well-oxygenated salmon stream and the text is illustrated with a wide variety of excellent photographs; including, surprisingly, a few of semi-naked beauties modelling attire made entirely out of salmon skin ... [the book] is first class and a great read. I heartily recommend it to all of you who, as I do, love and revere the "King of Fish".' - Fly Fishing & Fly Tying
