Ordering seafood in restaurants will have to be reconsidered.

I have no idea if the problem has gotten better or worse since that report. The first time I saw the video was yesterday when a friend sent me the link to it. I doubt much has changed because these government agencies are usually pretty slow to act.

We should warn these countries that we will ban their fish imports if they don't clean up their act.

I was going to have fish tonight but now I'm thinking about eating chicken... Are there any bad videos about that I should know about?

You mean it really isn't chicken?

1. Chicken husbandry in this country is worse than deplorable.

2. If you buy fish in the supermarket, you need your head examined. Farmed fish from ANY country is garbage. I buy only wild caught fish from sources I personally know and trust. Make food acquisition a priority.

3. East coast fisheries are going to take a serious hit over the next few years due to fish breeding 'grounds' being ruined. Get it while you can.
