Good news for good eaters! The ocean covers more than 70 percent of our planet, and it is filled with plant and animal life. It has something for everyone to enjoy fish of all kinds – sardines, mackerel, salmon, and herring – and other seafood, such as oysters, clam, crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and octopus. What about a shark steak?
How do you like your seafood? In Sweden, you can try pickled herring, smoked salmon, or baked halibut. In Japan, look for thin, cold slices of something pink on your plate. It’s tasty sashimi – raw fish. You also can fill your plate with vitamin-rich sea vegetables. Seaweed is a popular dish in Japan.
For thousands of years, people everywhere have set out to sea in small boats to catch their supper. Today, huge modern fishing fleets have electronic equipment for finding fish.
People catch lobsters in cage-like traps. Shrimps, crabs, and some fish are caught in nets. Oysters are scooped up by machines called dredgers.
