SEAFOOD MISSED POINTS

Since it has been some time since my last post, and I have been neglectful with only sporadic information being shared I submit to you a list of things I should have written about. Ocean Acidification Jeremy Piven Mercury misgivings Bluefin Tuna depletion and politicking Greenpeace retail rankings and rants The TV show about Sword fishing Pollack and Hoki in crisis Lower than expected wild salmon catches (again) Economic factors in the seafood industry (hint it is the most expensive protein). Seals eating salmon, and sharks eating seals. Giant squid reports ( more than a few) Jellyfish More species misrepresentations. Various Seafood Festivals Water offsets in Aquaculture et al With apologies, Matt

Earth Day 2009

Today is Earth day. The Earth is composed of mostly water. Therefore today should be mostly about water. I hope you do not mind my philosophical stretch. But how can you blame me since the fishmonger must be focused on the seas and such? Let us not make light of today's significance, even though I may not agree with many that take a particular extreme view of today's environmental issues, PETA for one. I for one enjoy eating seafood, and I am especially invested in the seafood industry for my livelihood. I just believe that protection does not exclusively rule out enjoyment. If you are a first time visitor please take a moment to look around. I hope that you enjoy my musings and smattering's of actual information. I welcome, actually I encourage your comments and questions be they friendly or otherwise. Actually I hope to expand the content here with additional authors, so stay tuned. And happy Water, eh.. Earth Day.
