Some tasty value Pinot Noir

Well now let me tell you a thing or two.....

When you rave about Atlantic Salmon, you are talking about fish that are farm raised. Cuz there ain't anymore of them things swimmin' free and clear in the North Atlantic Ocean.

When you rant about how delicious those Cat Fish are or those Brook Trout, just remember that they most likely were raised on farms and were fed pellets of compressed soy and other such stuff. They don't taste anything like the wild version. Problem is that you are hard pressed to find the wild version anymore.

Swordfish are on the way out. Problem is that they are game fish that happen to be worthy plate fish also. That is a problem. You won't find too many Swordfish being raised on "fish farms". So maybe it might be worhtwhile to lay off them suckers for a while until the population has managed to increase a bit.

Remember the American Bald Eagle? It was almost extinct? Now you gotta duck from them suckers trying to pull the geese outta the back yard. Good thing too, since them geese leave some nasties in the grass.....

How about that used car lot in Richmond that ended up with a Shad shattering the windshield of a car parked on the lot. Rumour has it that a Bald Eagle dropped the fish after being attacked by some Ospreys. The fish, subject to gravity, dropped out of the sky and burst through the windshield only to land in the car's front seat. This occured on a Sunday...... Imagine the surprise and the smell when the folks opened the used car lot the following Monday.

Just give the Swordfish a break and go back to eating skate wings and shark fins. YUCK that stuff is at the bottom of the food chain!!

Did I say enough? And trust me, I ain't even thinking about being conservative. (God knows cuz I vote Republican.)

However, at some point we gotta give things a rest for a while............. Like not harvesting female blue crabs from the bay!!
