Food writer Mark Bittman's first book, "Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking," explored the glory of piscine cuisine. But when offered the opportunity to revise the book, he declined. Overnight shipping of loads of fish cargo, farm-raising and over-fishing have turned buying and eating fish into an ethical and ecological quagmire. Mark Bittman joins The Takeaway (http://www.thetakeaway.org/) to explain his reasons for being more selective about which fish end up on his plate.

"Pretend it's whale. Would you eat it if it were whale?" "The answer is always no."
Question:
Are all whales endangered? Do all whales taste the same?
