In Search of Fish in Corsica (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 106

There has been a lot of fish hunting lately here in the Med. Unfortunately, it has almost always ended with an empty handed, disappointed Riles swimming back to the boat. There is an alarming amount of over fishing going on here in the Mediterranean Sea. 97% of the fish stocks that are assessed are overfished and/or not sustainable (these are only the fish that are actually assessed!! Excluding a number of other marine species which, for all we know could be in even more trouble). We’ve learned that recently people are becoming more and more aware of this issue and thankfully measures are being put into place. We hope to sail back here in the future and to be able to catch ourselves some dinner. I’m not a marine scientist, but I just thought this was a great opportunity to share this information with you. Overfishing is a serious problem all around the world, so all I wanted to suggest was WHERE YOU CAN, why not try and avoid eating things like shrimp? It may only look like a few shrimps in your cocktail glass, but the bi-catch that is associated with this fishing process (bi-catch is the animals that are also caught in the deep sea nets or whatever other tools they are using to haul up a particular species) will shock you. Without the demand, there is no need for supply. Why not go fishing with your own rod or net yourself? Not only is it better for the environment but it’s a heck of a lot funner and I think it really makes you appreciate your food more. Anyway, that’s all from me. Cheers, Elayna 🙂

P.S In case anyone is wondering, I was not paid to promote chocolate ingredients. This is just something I love 🙂
