It's a fishery buzzword — a lifeline for many coastal communities and a luxurious menu item driving a global seafood craze.

Lobster—one time once considered a poor man's food—now fuels a multi-billion-dollar machine. But investigative journalist Greg Mercer's book, The Lobster Trap: The Global Fight for a Seafood on the Brink, tells a different story—one unfolding both above and below the ocean’s surface.

In Ep. 15 of berrygrounds, Seasplainer authors Jenn Thornhill Verma and Leila Beaudoin interview Mercer, a reporter with the Globe & Mail, about the time he spent with fishermen in Atlantic Canada and what he learned about lobster in the process of writing his book.

A very special thanks to Kelly Russell and Pigeon Inlet Productions for sharing with us Lem Snow's recording of The Great Lobster Boil.
