I work in the seafood industry and our imported fish,octupus,squid makes up for about 70% of all our sales.Pretty sad hey!!! The simple fact is that our fisheries do not hold enough stocks to make it sustainable.Even our bream and barra are imported.The exotic stuff goes overseas because they pay top dollars for that shit.What I think would be a good idea is to set up alot more fish farms here in oz to supply the local market.
By the way if any of you guys saw the special on sixty minutes about the basa in Vietnam ,don't beleive everything they showed you.The pictures were REDICULOUS. like they go around scooping dead fish out of sewage infested waters.We have booklets to hand out to customers and it shows spotless facilities were it all goes by the book,anyway QUARINTINE inspects it all when it comes in so those fish floating in turds would not get through anyway.Don't get me wrong,I HATE whats going on in the industry but what do you do???????? Any way my head hurts now, time for
