"Ian Roberts works for Marine Harvest in "communications and media" and so it's his job to refute the film sweeping across North America revealing his industry and its government handlers in a bad light."



If your buying into Mr Roberts unbiased opion, I'm selling Lions Gate bridge if your interested.

Yup, that reads about right.  Thanks Fb
Ms. Morton seems rather quiet since the night of the 14th ... sure she is busy conjuring up something interesting though :)

Fisherbob, If I donate to a cause I don't expect anything in return except that my donation helped further that cause, however you seem to expect a deal or something in return personaly for your donation to the cause, above and beyond what any normal person would expect. I don't get your reasoning, it's like you are saying you did not recieve a personal return for your donation.

When I donate to a cause I expect truth and honesty.

Is eating "wild" Alaska salmon better for the environment and the resources used to farm them?

2 touring old boys rugby clubs from Japan graced our club last week. I'm the social secretary (read cook) and I had a lot of folks to feed. What did they eat? Well, it wasn't easy, but I flat out refused to serve feedlot rubbish, so with a lot of work, I was able to dig up some lovely wild sockeye. Out of the 96 pieces I bbq'ed , there wasn't a scrap left. I talked , sort of, to some of of our honoured guests- they don't care much for farmed fish(ish).

Troll caught number 1's. Beautiful, bright and tasty.Troll is the most ethical fishery. What should I have fed them because I sure wasn't going to serve up farm rubbish? (Didn't you buy some "over the fence"?)

Hamburgers and hotdogs :)  I agree with your thoughts on troll caught salmon but were these BC or Alaskan sockeye?  Fresh or frozen?  If these were indeed BC fish and fresh, most likely they would be early summers bound for upper Fraser River tributaries; all of these stocks are considered weak and are one of the reasons the institution of DFO's wild salmon policy is in limbo.

If they were Alaskan fish, well ... should have served hamburgers and hotdogs, IMO ;)

They were BC fish Dave, individually frozen 6 ounce portions, vacuum packed from a wholesaler. One of the guys on our team sourced them as at this time of year the only fresh thing available is, well, you know - frankenfish. We asked what they wanted us to serve them and sockeye was the first choice. I'm looking forward to our Japanese tour in 2014. Wonder what they'll feed us.. ;)
(I'm hoping for Kobe beef)
