Fogo Island codfish making its way to Toronto restaurant plates

January 16, 2016 Canada

Fogo Island codfish has caught the attention of Toronto chefs hook, line and sinker. When construction of the Fogo Island Inn and artist studios was complete, Anthony Cobb turned his focus to something more traditional — codfish. Cobb launched a pilot project, called Fogo Island Fish, whose goal was to put codfish caught by Fogo Island fishermen in the hands of Toronto chefs. “Conditions in the cod fisheries haven’t changed much since the 1960s,” Cobb said. “My father left the cod fishery because he couldn’t get a decent price for his fish, and fast forward 50 years or so and you still can’t get a decent price for fish if you’re a fisherman.” Read the article here 09:57

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
