Goodbye to the old fish and chips

I think the Spanish spend as much time fishing in the North Sea as anyone else. They've never really forgiven us for that incident with Frank Drake all those years ago...

As I understand it, the fish farming that does take place is for 'posh' fish like Salmon and Trout. The sort of fish we're talking about are Cod and Haddock. There was some suggestion of moving to other whitefish like Hake and Coli, but I dont know if it really took off.

British cuisine traditionally gets sniggered at by the rest of Europe, but if you ever want a meal fit for a king (and I dont just mean an Elvis impersonator), battered and deep-fried Cod with a portion of thick-cut chips (fries to you colonials ) and a generous sprinkling of salt and malt vinegar. Traditionally served wrapped in newspaper and eaten with your fingers while walking along the seafront in the evening.

Eating the newspaper is entirely optional.

Virtually all the Salmon eaten in Europe, is raised in fish farms. And a very very high percentage of that is farmed in Norway. And if I'm not wrong a high percentage of all the fish raised in fish farms in the world is farmed in Norway.

Norway is now one of the absolutely richest countries in the world. And that money comes from a lot of oil, gas and extensive fishing and fish farming.

On a side note: Not only do they nowadays have more money than Sweden, they manage to take all the god damn medals in the olympic games too.

I suppose the fact that Norway isnt in the EEC has absolutely no relavence on its prosperity?
