Yes I appreciate that there's portion of the population in dire need of food or who have little option but to fish - I doubt any would begrudge them doing whatever they can to survive.

The rest of the world (where we have choice when walking down a supermarket or picking where to eat) should be looking to more ethically and environmentally friendly foods.

Your diet of dead animals is killing the planet.

You are showing your hand too soon mate. I'm taking about food with zero land use footprint - less than an entirely plant based diet. Nowhere did I advocate for eating terrestrial farmed animal protein. So really, by bringing up the land use footprint of terrestrial food, you are making a strong case for incorporating some seafood to reduce the impact of food. While it's cool that you are unintentionally supporting my case, I'm afraid you may come off as a zealot if you share vegan talking points that are irrelevant to the comment to which you are replying.
