Have you even tried to buy cod or haddock lately? And do you know what it's going for a pound? About nine bucks, when you can find it, in my neck of the woods. The overfishing charge is NO chicken little cry.

Don't know where your from, but until a few years ago I lived in FL and never had a problem with getting sea food or the price.

So true, Even Alaska is experiencing the destruction by foreign fleets. Crazy thing is for all they yell about global warming, not a peep about their fishing fleets.

The overfishing charge is NO chicken little cry. " I just bought my first cod fillet 2 days ago for 5.99 per/lb. I have no idea how to cook a cod. I guess I'll put jerk sauce on it. What do you think of reply #6?

Let's see, a shortage of table fish? I bought fresh cod filets at Kroger in Lansing, MI. this last Saturday (2-16) for $3.99 lb. and canned tuna in spring water, 2 for a buck.

One of the greatest tasting fish ever the Toutouva was wiped out in the Gulf of California by overfishing. They are gone. The factory ship concept has been a disaster for fish populations.

So eat catfish. Higher price = lower demand = less fishing pressure = species recovers (until the price drops again).

I know nobody likes Greenpeace but they have been arguing that the floating processing fish plants.They have been using anything and everything for years. They suck up young fish along with most anything else and use it. Call Tyson Corporation. They used to own one or more of these floating factory ships.

About 20 years ago the stripped bass was on the verge of extinction because of commercial overfishing. A ban went into effect and now with stocks replenished, they're opening it up again. Same thing happened with the redfish in the gulf. It's not junk science.

Sea bass is $22.00 per pound in the midwest. At that price, you buy it and put it into your safe deposit box.

The overfishing charge is NO chicken little cry. Reminds me of a story I saw last year out on the left coast. Seems the surfers wanted to be able to surf anywhere they wanted, and had a few shark attacks in an area they chose. So, instead of moving, the sharks in the area were hunted down. Nice surfing. One problem. The sharks at the otters, who ate the mussels that people liked. Now, with their preditor out of the way, the otter population sprang to life. Otters eat mussels, and left none too many for the humans.
I got quite a laugh over their whining. While I'm not an enviro-kook, I do understand there is a balance to things in nature.

You sir, are obviously a communist, and I will be reporting to the Thought Police for double plus anti nice thoughts once the office comes under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. :)
I know that the codfish industry did in fact collapse in Newfoundland a few years back. Plenty of fisherman were banned from fishing simply because the cod stocks needed time to rebuild.
