I love orange roughy but don't buy it, even though it has recently
been removed from the endangered list. The fish takes an amazing 50
years to breed, so I'll do my tiny part to let the species recover.
I've expounded long and hard before about the overfishing which has
decimated the industry, which
I see even in my own State.
Additionally, the factory boats, plus the demand, have wreaked havoc
and I can't see a rebound in the foreseeable future.
