How the Climate Is Changing Wisconsin Fish Fry
Our beloved Friday fish fry tradition isn’t disappearing, but thanks to climate change, it is changing. In this month’s cover story for Madison Magazine, writer Jeff Oloizia explores how ecology, economics, invasive species, and changing fisheries are impacting what’s on our fish fry menu. Jeff joins City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin to discuss the current challenges facing freshwater fish and potential solutions. Jeff will be speaking at a fish fry dinner hosted by Madison Magazine and Sustain Dane at Pasture and Plenty on Sept. 18.
