Well, don't feel too self-rightous. You are contributing to the depletion of the ocean's resources and fisheries. Particularly if you eat anything other than catfish.

Sticky wicket, eating commercial fish; it's really really fucking up the ocean, just catching tons of everything, scraping the sea floor and wasting most of it. All the big fish are gone, of commerically fished stocks, most of which have been decimated to the point of near-extinction. Near in time, not numbers - it's a certainty for most of them. Fucking greed, over and over and over again. Eat farm-raised fish only, or wild crab at a push - there's enough of them still. The rest of it is fucked, it's an embarrassment.

Don't get mercury poisoning from all that fish.

There are plenty of sustainable fish if you can find or catch them. I know in England they/we're so attached to cod and haddock they are fucked but other options are not, but people must be reluctant to try other varieties.

diversity in reasonable quantity is where balance of the ecosystem is achieved.

so craigatkinson what prompted your decision? Health? Ethics? A girl? Budget? Are you spending more/less/same as well as feeling better?

I pretty much stopped eating fish (maybe twice a year at most) for the same reason miko outlined above. Cows and chickens won't be going extinct any time soon.

A good friend of mine had colon cancer when we were in our 20s, he was a salad dodger big time and it really hit home how important moderation and whole foods are for us.

I just roasted a whole free-range, vegetarian fed chicken in my cast iron-skillet with potates, carrots, and some garlic yesterday. I rubbed the bird all over with salt + pepper, tossed it in the over at 450 for almost an hour, brushing twice with olive oil and oh my fucking god was it good. I'll gladly keep eatin' that flesh.
Don't get me started on red meat. I've been dry-aging my own steaks for about 2 years now. Amazing.

As I said, the decision wasn't really a decision initially, I just hadn't eaten meat for a few days. For years now I've said if I thought about it too much I'd stop eating meat [not including sea things]. So I became aware that I didn't need meat having never been a huge meat eater anyway, and when I did it was burger, or pizza etc so not the best cut! So now I just don't eat it and it's fun finding new things to eat. So MrT yes ethics, lightly, I suppose.

- Good on you, I should to, but enjoy the best meat I can get for 2 or 3 meals a week.MrT
