One of those cookery guys on the radio a few days ago said something like "there are lots of spider crabs in the sea and we should be eating them"
Well ... why????
It's not right for us intelligent, and supposedly civilized, humans to eat wild creatures on a commercial scale.
I had the same thought when looking at the huge arrays of fish in the markets in Brixton.
I have no objection to a person feeding his family with fish that he catches himself (or herself). And I have no objection to eating the meat from farmed creatures. There are plenty of lakes and bays where fish could be farmed. Just as farming has increased the world population of cattle and sheep so it would with fish.
Leave all wild creatures to live their own lives and stop catching them on a commercial scale.
And don't say that we can't stop because we need to protect the livelihood of fishermen. It would be trivially easy for Governments to compensate fishermen if they wanted to. Look how easily they compensated bankers.
