Two years ago I introduced you to the Fillet O’ Fish sandwich – the Hoki, or Whipfish. The New York Times is reporting that this model sustainable fishery has suddenly become unsustainable compliments of McDonald’s, Long John Silver, and modern fast food.
This is one of those rare moments where anglers can take the Moral High ground – as everyone knows despite our lust to catch fish, most of us would rather have a hamburger.
My theory is you can bread and deep fry a car tire and it’ll make a suitable replacement given the volume of Tartar-saucelike-substance added. As the Hoki lives a half mile down with a lifespan of nearly 100 years – the next great whitemeat has to be Jellyfish..
… no worries, they’ll give it a catchy name.

You made my day KBarton10! But come to think of it, I really like Mc Donalds Fillet O’ Fish sandwich over the usual fattening and cholesterol loaded regular beef burger. And whenever I have time to go in groceries, I see to it to look for frozen Dory fish because they have the same good taste 🙂
