E-book

Building on the success of the three Dried Fish Matters roundtables at the MARE 2021 "People and the Sea" Conference, we are preparing a DFM e-book that will explore the socio-cultural value of dried fish. The e-book will be formally released on 18 June, 2022 to coincide with global observance of Sustainable Gastronomy Day.

We intend this e-book to celebrate the role of dried fish as one that is deeply "gastronomical" – in the sense of being embedded in cultural life and foodways – while also vitally linked to sustainable development. The publication will include contributions that describe dried fish products and value chains, share the stories and experiences of people who produce and sell dried fish, and reflect on our efforts to find new ways to learn and to communicate knowledge about dried fish. Individual contributions will describe preliminary results, reflect on the research process, invite readers to contemplate, present field notes or raw data, or convey the original works of research participants and collaborators.
