After Brexit - am I stupid or what?

No shortage of fish here, sweetie Strangely, 95% of the fish and shellfish on the counters are species caught in the Pacific or Indian oceans.

 

So what kind of fish do you get down there?
We get the usual plus that vietnamese stuff and some funny carp, gilt head bream, and the usual jelly like things octopus etc.

 

It's a challenge to list them, especially as I don't know the English names for most, even if there are translations @pete. There is 'the usual'...cod, hake, coley, sole, plaice, salmon and trout. Turbot, halibut, swordfish, tuna, eels, bream, sea-bass, jelly-like things , white rubber etc. But it's all meticulously labelled with it's origin, and very, very little appears to come from British waters. Especially the seafood. Smoked haddock, now, that's a luxury that I had to give up years ago
Vietnamese stuff?? Panga? Dirty (allegedly), farmed stuff? It's banned here.

 

AaaaaaHa, so, they are not prepared to own up to it then.

 

P'raps.....or could be that they are exotic species, or the buyers don't find British fish to be of high enough quality When was the last time you spotted a swordfish frolicking off Folkestone?

 

I rest my case M'lud.

 

Cheat! It was off the Scottish coast

 

It's M'lady, actually and it won't wash, 'cos they're just 5% of the offer. As the witness for the defence said earlier, 95% are fish I'd never heard of before..Lieu noir, Lieu jaune, merlan, julienne, maigre, bar....they're just the ones I can think of offhand.

 

Yeah well that's where all the French fish will be coming from in future.
Off limits to British gunboats says Sturgeon.

 

Stuff your cod fillet covered in goo We'll get by with thinly sliced coquilles St Jacques (from Mauritius) marinaded in lime juice (from Tahiti) and sprinkled with caviar de citron rose (from Australia) accompanied by feuilles de pommes de terre de Bretagne. So there!

 

It must have escaped from a French fishing boat

 

Dammit.....busted
