Eating the Whole Fish, a 200 page art-book on sustainable seafood in collaboration with with Eating with the Ecosystem

Rhode Island exports 95% of the fish it catches and imports 90% of what it eats. Many local species are abundant and nutritious but remain underused because they’re small, bony, and unfamiliar — a cultural gap that leaves local food disconnected from local tables.

Eating the Whole Fish is a 200-page cookbook and field guide that teaches Rhode Islanders how to cook and enjoy their overlooked catch. With recipes, interviews, how-to guides, and over a hundred illustrations, it is both a practical manual and a cultural resource — inviting people to build confidence, curiosity, and connection around local seafood.

Pre-orders for Eating the Whole Fish open this September, with the full release in November 2026. Launch events will take place in Providence and in Tribeca, NYC, in partnership with NEW INC, the New Museum’s art and culture incubator.
