I think my post was probably more applicable to the UK, mihto, where a lot of people think fish means battered cod from the fish and chip shop or salmon steaks from the supermarket. For an island nation we aren't very adventurous when if comes to trying different types of fish. And I include myself in that generalisation - I'm a much more confident cook with meat than I am with fish.

Finding a decent fishmonger would help, was in Waitrose the other day and the choice was rubbish, they hardly had anything. If you are in Oxford go to the covered market, found a lovely fishmongers in there a few weeks ago, bought a bagful of big, fresh sardines and they only cost a couple of quid............

Thank you for posting the link. It shows the problem in its full magnitude. As a professional I totally agree with the conclusions. On our coast we have ever-growing problems with resistance to Slice, which is the main drug against lice.

This industy is bound to crash, the problem is to what extent wild salmon, as well as "food" species, are ruined before the crash happens. The farmed salmon is one of the largest ecological time bombs in the world today.
