I could have written Herring: A Love Story out of a longstanding fondness for the fish. But I did not have the historical details, the art and the artifacts that resulted in this fascinating book by Daniel Rozensztroch and Cathie Fidler.--Florence Fabricant, The New York Times "The New York Times, January 12th, 2015 "
