| In this humorous, forthright and intelligent book, successful BC coast fishboat captain Eric Wickham goes looking for answers — and comes up with them. Dead Fish and Fat Cats, part detective story, part poignant memoir, explores how an industry that has flourished for decades and was supposedly being well-managed by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, could suddenly founder. |
| Wickham's exposé of the fish-decline saga is interspersed with vivid tales of life on the ocean. He adds reminiscences from the 1950s in the tiny coastal fishing village of Bamfield. Together these make a rich book, one that is hard to put down. |
| Dead Fish and Fat Cats is at once a tour through the world of BC coastal fishing, a moving personal odyssey, a lament for lost intelligence, and a guide to the future for the fishing industry. |
