Elizabeth Walesthank you for sharing your expertise with me, above and beyond that of a good neighbor.

Jill Lightner of Edible Seattle , Jackie DeCicco of PCC Cooks, and Giselle Smith of Seattle Homes and Lifestyles each of you makes me a better writer every time I work with you, and I greatly appreciate how supportive you are of my passion for all things seafood (and an occasional missed deadline or five).

They may not be aware of their membership, but the following people are all on my Seafood Advisory Committee; they are fishermen and renowned experts in their fields who have graciously donated their time to advise me on issues of seafood sustainability. Thank you to Jeremy Brown and Rich Childers for your expert review, and to Nick Furman of the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission. My eternal appreciation to Casson Trenor for your knowledge, passion, love of sushi, and quick pickup on the phone whenever I needed you; Jon Rowley, for inspiring me with all your love and appreciation for the inherent deliciousness of life; Rick Moonen, for being one of the most colorful advocates for the oceans Ive ever had the pleasure of meetingand an incredible chef, to boot; Hajime Sato, for following your heart and taking the huge risk of changing your business in favor of sustainable sushi; Jacqueline Church, for your support and long-standing commitment to sustainable seafood; and Marco Pinchot, for giving so freely of your time and knowledge in guiding our little rat pack on your shellfish-farming tours. Amy Grondin, many thanks for being my go- to fish expert and sustainable seafood compadre for the last four years: you are a generous, knowledge-seeking, fish-lovin woman; you are the salt of the ocean and have been hugely helpful in getting my facts right for this book.

Amy Pennington, thank you for introducing me to Susan Roxborough, my editor extraordinaire at Sasquatch Books, who brought this idea to my door, appreciated my voice in all its snark (well, maybe not all), and took a chance on giving me so many pages. Thanks to all the folks at Sasquatch, specifically publisher Gary Luke, Rachelle Long (production editor goddess!), Diane Sepanski (copy editor goddess!), Anna Goldstein (designer goddess!), and Lisa Gordanier (proofreader goddess!).
