I don't really know what I'm doing but a few jobs are going to fall by the wayside.

I've missed something somewhere Sarah...<br /><br />Last time I was fishing on a beach, a passer by shook thier head in disapproval at me bashing a mackerel humanely over the head. <br /><br />Yeah, 'cause it's better to have them asphyxiate under several tons of wasted by-catch first isn't it.<br /><br />I hope you post some pics of your stall and market - sounds heavenly...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487456386841182116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-90944110089458614002011-11-05T00:58:14.444+08:002011-11-05T00:58:14.444+08:00PH, in the end the consumer has to dictate the mar...PH, in the end the consumer has to dictate the market, not vice versa. #Occupy has a bit to say about it.<br /><br />Sometimes I wipe the seaweed from the crabs and sometimes I think it is best left on the carapace.

Fishermen her...At least it is still fairly fresh. <br /><br />Fishermen here will send stuff to Perth (when the truck comes every other day). It gets sold at the markets in Perth the next day hopefully and sent back down south to Coles or Woolies. <br /><br />That could be six or seven days when you include weekends, public holidays and the trucking schedules. Include the factor of fishers sometimes 'ice stocking' fish until they have enough boxes to pay for the freight.<br /><br />Another outcome of 'ice stocking' is that crabs and fish will be thrown together in the same box and then sold separately at the city markets, creating an unnecessary problem for those with crustacean allergies. Plus, the habit of chucking frozen fish in with fresh to make up a box. Happens all the time. Believe me. Don't ever refreeze anything you buy as 'fresh' in a supermarket.<br /><br />That said, the local processors are savvy to all that and make sure it doesn't happen 'on their watch' but the city markets (and therefore the major supermarket chains) are another thing altogether.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-9778032430478365072011-11-04T22:12:12.736+08:002011-11-04T22:12:12.736+08:00No more fishing about in boats?!

I had a friend who was a liner in the Newlyn fleet, and he said that the fish that wasn't sold on the quayside that morning got picked up by freezer lorries and taken 300 miles up to Billingsgate in London, where it was bought by Cornish restauranteurs and taken 300 miles back to Cornwall to be served in the joints the next day.. Who needs air miles with a system like that?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.com
