The U.S. imports 91% of its fish, with six billion tons of seafood arriving on American shores each year. This influx of foreign seafood has severe consequences for local fishing communities and public health. The documentary FISH and MEN reveals the high cost of cheap fish and the forces threatening local fishing communities. However, a new movement is emerging, prioritizing local, seasonal, and sustainable fishing practices. This shift is led by pioneering fishermen, celebrated chefs, and local communities, offering a "Catch of the Day" revival that reconnects consumers with those who harvest the sea's bounty.
