The net's cast

'No fish left within 50 years' recently headlined in the UK, my new home. Fish and their eaters aside the other big losers or winners, depending on your day time British TV preferences, will be the too plentiful cooking shows.

One ripple of shock hit BBC TV's Saturday Kitchen provoking a nostalgic retaliation of re-airing Keith Floyd 27 years ago bouncing around aboard a trawler in the English Channel. Amongst white crested over-head crashing waves he juggled then cooked the then abundant sea food.

Back in the studio and the present the rarely seen in daylight, Tom Aikens, youngest British chef awarded 2 Michelin stars, fondly fondled his line caught sea bass du jour before fessing their days would soon be numbered. (Leaving everyone only farmed sea basses.)

Troubled waters
During our life time fish will become more valuable and less numerous. Fact. What to do? Some say enjoy it while it lasts. Others say stop eating them. Perhaps we should photograph some to show future grand children what they looked like.

Perhaps be a friend of the earth. Or buy Finding Nemo. Or, gain the most kudos, become a fish. Okay a little implausible, but the fish would like you.

P.S. To read someone more sensible who is respectfully helping and cataloguing issues of India and South Africa follow Jazz travels. Say hi from Gussly.
