#409 Andrew Zimmern, a four-time James Beard Award–winning TV host best known for Bizarre Foods and for using food as a lens into culture joins Happy Half Hour co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant this week. A longtime champion of global food culture, Zimmern shares his new book, The Blue Food Cookbook: Delicious Seafood Recipes for a Sustainable Future and discusses why Americans misunderstand seafood and what San Diego can teach the rest of the country about primarily eating from the water.

Zimmern's new book is a guide to buying and cooking seafood in ways that are smarter for the oceans and the people who harvest from them. He breaks down the biggest myths that hold Americans back from cooking fish, shares stories from decades spent traveling and reporting on global foodways, talks about why markets like Tuna Harbor matter more than ever, and explains why harvesting food that comes from our oceans is the key to achieving sustainability goals.
