The Sushi Economy

The Sushi Economy by Sasha Issenberg is a nonfiction book about sushi and globalization. The Sushi Economy uses the booming business, culture, and cuisine of raw fish to examine how the integration of local economies through trade works in practice. The book takes the form of a global travelogue ranging from bluefin fishermen in Gloucester, Massachusetts to Japan's Tsukiji fish market to tuna pirates in the Mediterranean to an Austin, Texas sushi bar to the global restaurant empire of Nobu Matsuhisa.
