Rated Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World 8/10

I think this book needs to be paired with some kind of critique of it because it's quite hard to read things like "ACTUALLY, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WAS HEAVILY ABOUT COD" without becoming skeptical. This might be a personal issue as someone gave me a copy of "1421: the year the chinese discovered america " when I was a kid and discovering that I'd built basically nonsense fiction into my worldview has made it quite hard for me to read history textbooks without intense nervousenss.
