fish and chips industry literally actually on life support.
Who had Fourth Cod War on their 2024 predictions.
it's actually not their problem either
they won't be able to make the hooks with which to catch the fish anywayProblem solved and mission accomplished
Good, may they never return. There's no reason they should anyway; not like Russians can't be the ones to fish in their own waters...
Okay, that was an attempted joke. Having skimmed the article, I see they're not catching fish in the traditional sense, but farming them. I envisioned fishing as "you catch what you catch," so it just seemed strange to me that they would be specifically barred from catching haddock and cod, as if it was something in their direct control. Apparently it is.
Not that trawlers are especially discriminating. Historically, they just scrape everything and throw the illegal stuff back in the water.
Happy hunting to the Coast Guard! Britain should fish its own waters. (Oops, Thatcher destroyed the domestic British fishing industry).
