Articles in today's daily press do state that ASDA'S are to stop selling Cod from the North Sea due to

"Over Fishing". Now I've heard that term somewhere before!!!!!.

There you go. The British consumer has spoken, and Asda are taking notice. It'll spread like wildfire as all the other supermarket chains cotton on.

Overfishing? No such thing according to some on here.

So what supermarket do you advise the British housewife to purchase her cod from then Steve? A supermarket that gets its supply’s from

A country that has stringent fishing practises in place? Like ours.

A country that has strict quotas in place like ours?

A country that has decommissioned a large percentage of its fishing fleet (to preserve North Sea cod) like ours has?

Or would you advise them to use a supermarket chain (unlike asda) that actually does supply fresh North Sea cod?
