Have a Codfish, Please.

I smell like fish. At least my hands do. And that's after washing them with soap and lemon juice multiple times. Yum. But splitting cod was really fun. First you have to rip off the head, which was actually my favorite part. You rip off the head because if you chopped it off, you'd lose some flesh. So then you split it and rip out the spine

I think that...I'm impressed with all your fishing thoughts. BUT even though there's a large industry and many villages, individuals, etc. dependent on the fishing trade, and the gov't has scapegoated them, it doesn't mean that change doesn't need to be made.

Take Tanzania for example: The Nile Perch is not sustainable, they have a thriving fishing industry that's ALL people can depend on for food and money, etc, but everyone's still in abject poverty on the shores of Lake Victoria. So I still think the industry should be changed/dependence on it should decrease so it can be more sustainable, even if people have to take the hit. I think there is a greater good...

It's like saying "OK, here's an environmentally and morally horrible company. They just laid off 5000 workers because they're losing money." Do you get mad at the company? Yes. Do you try to get the workers the same jobs back? Nyeurgh. I have no idea... what i'm talking about. Anyway, sounds like it was a gorgeous trip :-)
