Rose George | Every Last Fish: what fish do for us and what we do to them | Sun 26 Apr 2026 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm

Cold-blooded, slippery, wet and strange: fish are our fellow animals though we usually just think of them as food. In Every Last Fish, journalist and author Rose George takes us inside the vast legal industries that support our appetite for fish fingers and smoked salmon sandwiches, and the equally colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. Can fishing ever return to sustainable levels?
