March has roared in like a lion as we wait for trucks loaded with fish ordered Friday. I woke this morning to a winter wonderland here in New York.

The whale that had been trapped off the coast of New York and New Jersey manages to break free with a little help from members of NOAA. Unfortunately the whale sustained injuries from the entanglement and experts are unsure if the whale will survive. In related news a whale collides with a boat off of Cabo san Lucas, Mexico and nearly capsizes the 40 foot craft.

Photos from the coast guard show a juvenile humpback whale that is tangled in lobster gear off the coast of Far Rockaway, New York. Members of NOAA's whale disentaglement team will attempt to release the unfortunate animal.

I used to enjoy watching John Stossel on 20/20 and his Give Me A Break segments. I even had the opportunity to attend a dinner at Stetson Law where he spoke. I wonder what he would say about the current state of the Salmon industry. That most of the Industrial Salmon Complex are owned by few companies leads one to ponder conspiracy theories. We are all guilty for enjoying the relatively inexpensive farm raised Atlantic salmon during its hey day. The American people generally ignored all the bad press the lowly salmon had to take. Food writers and scientists alike criticized the fish because of the way in which it was raised, that it was dyed or color added, and that it was contaminated with toxins, or that it just didn't taste as good. Maybe Top Chef contestant and finalist Stefan will forget all he thinks he knows about farmed salmon after his disappointing showing cooking or overcooking as the judges determined lean wild coho salmon. Despite all its bad press most people love the...

Every year thousands of seafood vendors come to Boston to meet and greet and sell every imaginable species of seafood to the hundreds of thousand that attend the three day show every March. This year looks to be a little less grand. I was surprised last week when I was sent an unsolicited free registration. My first thought was that they must be having a hard time filling the aisles. Intrafish is running the headline Sour economy dents Boston Seafood show attendance . Asian seafood exporters are evaluating their financial problems. Seafood Exporters Prepare for Crisis . Part of their plan is to increase sales at expos like The Boston Seafood Show . They might want to adjust their expectations. The New York Restaurant show is having the same difficulty, as I just received a free badge for this show too.
