It is freaky they way you see some places not specify what kind of fish it is :yakk:

Yeah.. no wonder why you’ve only just suddenly had an allergic reaction if you aren’t specifying what kind of fish you’re buying. That also means if they are giving you some vietnamese catfish you can’t actually do anything about it as they aren’t misselling you anything.

My local chippy is great though, proper quality.

When you buy your fish and chips do you literally just say fish and chips or do you specify the fish?

just ‘fish n chips please’

does cheap as chips catchphrase work when in fact potatoes are being turned into chips which increases the price greatly? 😀

lol you think it should say ‘cheaper than chips’ ?

Suppose it depends how fussy you are and if your talking retail or wholesale prices, all fruit and veg are separated into ‘presentable’ which can be sold at a premium in greengrocers, and ‘unpresentable’ the stuff that gets sold cheap in bulk for use in processed foods.

On the fishing bit, the only sustainable fishing is in stock controlled fresh water lakes, the oceans are being stripped bare, the EU quoters are BS as they only control whats landed, not whats killed and everyone knows that fishermen throw tons over the side so they can land the most valuable fish they catch.

Back to veal, the reason it’s expensive is also due to wastage, slaughtering animals when they are young means you get less meat off the carcass, if they were fed their natural diet and grown to maturity each animal would provide a lot more meat for not much more cost

Its not so much throwing away cheap fish, its that the quota goes by species not just weight.
For example:
you throw in a net and take out 10 stone of fish,
you catch 5 stone of dover sole and 5 stone of cod.
If the quote only allows you to catch 3 stone of cod, then 2 stone has to be chucked back.
It discourages catching to much of one species but then again whos to know what will land in your net. Maybe they should give fisherman a total time to catch, and let them keep everything. I don’t sympathize too much with fisherman as they do pretty well fiancially. (In general) but all those dead fish getting thrown away is pretty bad.

At the end of the day, if we weren’t supposed to eat animals, then they wouldn’t be made of meat would they?

And all this talk of veal has given me a great idea for a gameshow called ‘Veal Or No Veal?’ Basically, we get a load of veal crates and have the interior obscured from view and people have to guess whether there’s veal in the crate or not. It puts the veal crates to some use, it means the calves get to be on tv before they die and it creates jobs!

HAHA That’s sick!
