About this listen

The cod is a large, ugly fish that spends its life with its big mouth wide open for food. For centuries, so many cod lived in the Atlantic Ocean they couldn’t swim without bumping into each other. They were so plentiful that they became the most important fish in many cultures. Best-selling author Mark Kurlansky brings history to life with this entertaining story of how a single fish changed the world.

A real disappointment. I’ve enjoyed Kurlansky’s books, but this isn’t worth the short time it takes to listen to it. At a little over an hour, it certainly isn’t worth a credit. Very much a surface treatment of cod. Narrator even sounded bored!

Baby version. Very short story of the cod.
