Sinopsis

Water to Table: The Safer Catch Initiative explores what happens when environmental science finally meets the places where food decisions are actually made.Across the Great Lakes and other freshwater systems, fish consumption advisories are everywhere-and yet they are rarely understood. Charts, warnings, and technical thresholds exist, but for families, anglers, chefs, and institutions, the guidance often feels abstract, fragmented, or disconnected from daily life. The result is uncertainty: some people disengage from seafood altogether, while others rely on tradition without clarity. This book was written to bridge that divide.Rather than framing seafood safety as a binary question of 'safe or unsafe,' Water to Table approaches it as a lived system-one shaped by water chemistry, species biology, culinary practice, cultural memory, and human behavior. It shows how contaminants like mercury and PFAS actually move through ecosystems and into kitchens, and why risk is best understood through context, frequency, and preparation rather than fear.At the heart of the book is the Safer Catch 4Cs framework:Check, Choose, Clean, Create.This model translates complex environmental and public-health science into practical, repeatable decisions people can apply in real kitchens. It helps readers understand where fish come from, how to choose species and sizes wisely, how culinary technique can reduce exposure, and how to preserve meaningful food traditions while adapting to modern environmental realities.Blending narrative reflection with applied systems thinking, Water to Table moves fluidly between shoreline history, scientific insight, and the everyday act of cooking and eating fish. It recognizes that seafood is never just nutrition-it is identity, access, trust, and inheritance. Especially in regions shaped by industrial legacy and environmental change, how we talk about fish matters as much as the data itself.Written for home cooks, chefs, anglers, healthcare professionals, educators, and curious readers alike, Water to Table offers neither alarmism nor false reassurance. Instead, it provides orientation-helping people make informed, confident choices while honoring both science and culture.This is not a book about avoiding fish.It is a book about understanding water, respecting food, and rebuilding trust at the table.
