While I don't agree with PETA with 99% of all it's issues, stopping fishing is one of the few I do agree with. It is probably the best thing the fishing industry can do for its long term survival. Back in the 80s, a single ship could catch what a fleet takes today roaming the oceans. It takes fleets canvassing the oceans to produce hauls today that are less than what was taken with less ships in the past. Most coastal fisheries are simply extinct; there are almost no fish worthy to be eaten and not in commerical quantities. The average size of the fish has gone down as well as the age.

If this trend continues, fish will become a delicacy as expensive as aged wine, cavier or diamonds.

And how would you propose this?

Many people either only have fish to live on and/or make their living from fishing.

I try to buy fish that are farmed like Salmon. I rarely buy my favorite, Chilean sea bass! Farming can supply the world with an adequate supply of fish for the foreseeable future. I don't much like Carter. I voted for him as a Democrat and regreted it. He was just too stupid and nieve! Having admitted that I don't like him, I doubt that he is harming anything in his fishing. If any thing, he is probably preventing lakes and streams from getting overpopulated. Many of the places that he would fish in are stocked every year and population controlled. It is like PETA to not check the facts before whining.

Yeah but talk to a fish lover and farmed fish doesn't taste as good as the "Free roaming" kind.

As for Japan...I would think that this is something the WORLD has to come on...it isn't just Japan~ If JUST the USA imposes limits and restrictions I don't see that having much effect, unless it could coax other countries to reduce on the amount of fish they harvest commercially.

So Jimmy catches fish on the same scale as a commercial fishing fleet? they are talking about sport fishing not commercial fishing. the two simply aren't comparable.

Ah, the insightful analysis that makes P&N worth while.

You best direct this one to the Japanese.

Actually, for much of Northern Europe, fish is so expensive as to be prohibitive for everyday consumption.

bah, you cant tell the difference, an 8 ounce filet of farmed salmon is indistinguishable from an 8 ounce filet of wild salmon. You'd need a microscope and an array of mineral tests to tell the difference. If someone says they can "taste" the difference, they are full of it.

The only real difference is that that farmed fish are usually 10-20% smaller than wild fish of the same age. But you dont see the whole fish, you just see a filet on a plate.

that reminds me of another faveorite fish, farmed artic char (usually cant get wild, its not that common, and also the fishing season is short for char)

mmmmm artic char

Around my part of the country, there are catfish farms. And the end-product is not too expensive, and is quite tastey when fried and smothered with a creamy, crawfish sauce.

errr, actually I meant cajun grilled sword, not that big a fan of blackened sword. Blackened Tilapia or yellow snapper on the other hand, yummy.

I used to be a cook at one of the best seafood places in the country: Real Seafood Company, Toledo damn I miss all the food I got to try while I was there.
