“What fish should I eat that’s good for me and good for the planet?”

That’s a question many of us have probably asked before. Now, it’s being asked by bestselling author and lifelong fisherman Paul Greenberg in a new 90-minute FRONTLINE special: The Fish on My Plate.

Greenberg travels to Peru to learn more about one of the largest wild fisheries in the world and stops in Alaska to discuss the long history of salmon fishing. He visits Norway where modern fish farming was invented and heads to his home state of Connecticut to visit an entirely different kind of ocean farming operation.

During this whole journey, Greenberg’s only source of animal protein came from fish. He spends a whole year eating seafood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to find out what kind of impact seafood and omega-3s have on his health, ranging from blood pressure and cholesterol to mental health and sleep patterns.

The Fish on My Plate airs tomorrow, April 25, 2017 – be sure to tune in to learn more about the relationship between ocean health and human health! Watch the trailer to get excited:
