“Spud Fish’n’Chips”?
Fish farming

Basically, we’re doing to fish what we’ve done to poultry: industrializing it. This is farming in 3-dimensions. The potential yield is enormous.
The idea extends to growing catfish as a cash crop by backing up a stream, to fencing parts of the ocean to farm salmon.
With the Law of the Seat Treaty, countries can regulate fishing up to, I think, 100 miles from their shores. This way countries like Iceland can control the catch, and making fishing sustainable, when Chinese fishing trawlers would come in and clean out the entire population of cod.
When Bill Gates tells you to eat bugs, he’s revealing his ignorance of the truly revolutionary source of protein that fish farming offers.
This sob story about the troubles faced by small time operators, is a repeat of the lament that supermarket chains posed to ma and pa grocery stores. I’m sorry. It’s the creative destruction of the market process.
Hopefully, the old ways of fishing will be preserved by various forms of history. We need to honor the past as we move into the future.
Fish and chips haven’t been the same since the UK banned them wrapped in newsprint.
Those were the days...
Sigh.
Why the ban?....................
Pete’s is pretty good for inexpensive fish & chips. I agree that Long John Silver’s is horrible, possibly the worst anywhere.
When I lived in Oregon, there was a fish & chips chain called Skipper’s that wasn’t bad, but the best was at Elephant and Castle in downtown Portland. They closed 20 years ago, though.
Gesundheit!
The excuses included everything from ink to littering.
I hate government.
Inks, back when I was a paperboy in the late 60’s early 70’s, were petroleum based. Now they are soy based.............
Farm-raised catfish has been a big business in the Southern US for decades. IMO, the quality is much better than wild-caught catfish.
I can recall as a kid eating catfish my dad would sometimes catch, and complaining of the muddy taste. I was spoiled on the taste of bream and bass, I guess.
My Canadian wife loved Manoll’s Fish and Chips in Brockville, Ontario. They wrapped the order in newsprint last we checked, but that was a long time ago.
Of course, newspapers are so small now, I don’t know if there is as much newsprint available.
I like the food at Captain “Disease”, but not so much the customer service or the wait times. Sometimes on my way home I’ll try to grab a couple pieces of fish(all the grease i can stand nowadays) and some hushpuppies. If there are any cars in the drive thru its a minimum 15 minute wait and a no go. Heck if its just me and I get lucky where Im the only one its still 5 minutes plus. Im sure it has lots to do with demographics of the help that would rather “clown” than work.
“ Because of the war in Ukraine?! I doubt that!”
Yea, me too. More likely it’s terrible economic and energy policies.

“ Nobody knows who Arthur Treacher was anymore.”
I remember those. First place I ever had fish and chips. Still love it to this day.
