ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.
Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.
The species is currently managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Marine Resources, the body which introduced a catch and trade documentation scheme as an attempt to tackle illegal poaching of this species.
Working with non-government organisations, the Humane Society International's focus is now on pursuit of illegal fishing operators who, in the rush to cash in on the highly valued species, plunder stocks with no regard for sustainability.
It has been estimated that more than 50 per cent of toothfish traded is illegally caught, and includes juveniles vital to the ongoing toothfish population.

How yoo doin? Haven't seen ya round in awhile!
I know how to make a killer salad to go with the fish. It makes you want to drink cold things. Pineapple, lettuce, cucumbers, little tomatoes, chives, radishes, grapes and green pepper slices. Cheap Italian seasoning and a dash of powdered red pepper and olive oil. Mix and chill. Your friends will think about you in the morning:)
What's up with the rural-sexual preacher instead of the metro-sexual preacher??? What? Are you into "rural cleansing?" You danged city slickers are all alike!!!
“remember i feel your pain?”
these people never go away. (and the “american electorate” keeps electing them; or is it those pesky voting machines that have a mind of their own.)

I had a roommate who was a diver and several times ate maybe 3 hour old Halibut which was just knockout delicious. The reason I made the comparison is my presumption that Chilean Sea Bass would have to be frozen for US consumption. All those you mentioned are great eating, probably Yellowfin Tuna & Mahi Mahi being my favorites.
I've read that some of these fish being served in American restaurants are 85 years old.
Truly “Animal Farm”. Why are people in this country so eager to be ruled? By anyone?
I know just the liberal I want to send this to. He he.
Were they mutated sea bass with guided laser beams?
Does this Gore have any idea how much of a jackass he constantly makes himself look? Clueless.
