In a lively account of
the American tuna industry over the past century, celebrated food writer
and scholar Andrew F. Smith relates how tuna went from being sold
primarily as a fertilizer to becoming the most commonly consumed fish in
the country. In American Tuna, the so-called “chicken of the
sea” is both the subject and the backdrop for other facets of American
history: U.S. foreign policy, immigration and environmental politics,
and dietary trends.
Smith recounts how tuna became a popular
low-cost high-protein food beginning in 1903, when the first can rolled
off the assembly line. By 1918, skyrocketing sales made it one of
America’s most popular seafoods. In the decades that followed, the
American tuna industry employed thousands, yet at at mid-century
production started to fade. Concerns about toxic levels of
methylmercury, by-catch issues, and over-harvesting all contributed to
the demise of the industry today, when only three major canned tuna
brands exist in the United States, all foreign owned. A remarkable cast
of characters— fishermen, advertisers, immigrants, epicures, and
environmentalists, among many others—populate this fascinating chronicle
of American tastes and the forces that influence them.
