splinky Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 i haven't, but it must be tastier, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidNY Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Maybe you haven't, but your cat probably has. It's surely tastier than farmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm really more interested in slave-cooked fish. Procuring the fish really isn't that much of a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 This is what I'm talkin about. (OK OK. It's horrific.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prasantrin Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That happened where I live. The owners of a restaurant "imported" a chef from Thailand, took his passport away, didn't pay him (or paid him less than required), etc. etc. It ended far worse than it did for either of the above mentioned cases, as the chef commited suicide.

joethefoodie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 A Russian fishing trawler sank in just 15 minutes early Thursday in the icy waters off Russia's Far East coast, killing at least 56 of its 132 crew members, rescue workers said. The massive trawler Dalny Vostok sank about 4 a.m. local time (1800 GMT Wednesday; 1 p.m. EDT Wednesday) in the Sea of Okhotsk off the Kamchatka Peninsula. It did not send a distress signal prior to the sinking. Among the 132 crew members, 78 were from Russia, 42 from Myanmar and the rest were from Latvia, Ukraine and Vanuatu. Story. Other than the obviously hideous accident, I was thinking about how big a fishing trawler must be, and how many metric tons of fish they must harvest and process while at sea. And wondering about how much longer they'll be catching fish. Oh - it's big... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 even people who run fish farms for a living have told me shrimp farms are gross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
