;-) Give them the benefit of knowing there is a place in England called
Dungeness. About 60 miles from there is a place called Plymouth, and
people catch crabs there. However, there is the willful ignorance of
refusing to Google it to find a site they can link with the proof that
the people in Plymouth are catching and boiling Dungeness crabs almost
5000 miles from their habitat.

BTW...I had Dover sole in a restaurant in a nearby city so they must be
catching them in Lake Ontario.
