Phishing on Fish
In Norway, New York and Canada wild Salmons are very tasty but too expensive to be affordable to buy for many. S some fish entraprenuer started to breed the same fish in artificial lake near by the sea .But these 'farmed fish' was found not as tasty as wild salmon.After research it was discovered that fish in ocean have to struggle hard in fear to save their lives from the predators This fear cause some hormone from their gland which make the natural wild fish tasty. Then the fish businessman left some baby shark in the lake so that they can cause that hormone in the gland of farmed fish to become tastier.
Whole Food is famous for the variety of fresh fish. In UsA every fish-tray bear their historical biography written over each packet with date, rate, weight and price. some fish-crushed customer bought 3 packets of wild fish onsite.
But he did not relish it as tasty as it should be. He then took other two packets to the food inspector for verifying its genuinety. After knowing that it was raised as farmed he came the manager of the whole food. with a complaint. In USA the business stand on law and ethics ,quite different from Asian countries like India or China, where business model stands not strictly on ethics but on profit.:Adulteration is detected even in babyfood!
The man demanded justice : why fake informations were written on the packets. The man was resistant to change or taking back money from the counter, as most customers do. So the case went on for a long time :Whole food vs fish agent. At last, the fish agent admitted that the fish was in the farming lake nearby ocean ; but somehow some of them jumped to the ocean to grew up as wild salmon; So both farmed and wild .
The customer alleged :'in that case, it should be marked on the packet "from farm to ocean" or "Fugitive."
Bravo!

In 2015 my brother went Puri in India .Puri is situated on the bank of Bay of Bengal.He stayed in some resort nearby the sea. He used to walk early morning for a walk and also to see unloading of the fishing boat.it was amazing to see many never-seen rare sea creatures in the fishing nets. Every time he met a man who became familiar to my brother. He was Keralian and worked in a fish research company in Tamilnadu My brother noticed that man took out a small container from his side bag to give the fisherman who collected something taken out nearby from the gills. of fish Oneday my brother asked him curiously,"What do you collect from the heads of fish? What do you do with that ? The man replied"I work in a fish research company in Tamilnadu. I will send those collection from fish to the company .There the fish in farms are fed these glands ,which help the fish grow and become heavy-weight in very short period. Calcutta is the biggest customer of this company. These fish are at least from 10 to 15/20 " kilos .The price is much cheaper than the local fish . They are sold to all hotels /restaurents, big or small, marriage party and social gathering "" _ . ' O,I see."
I heard this from my brother and remembered in flash back related to this story.
My husband used to avoid fish in any party and also told me to follow him. Though I did not know this off-scene story in detail before , but I have seen whenever I took that fish ,I had stomach trouble. When my elder brother was posted as railway officer in Sealdah station, I heard from him that at midnight fish wagons from Tamilnadu are unloaded from midnight and finished before 3 AM in the local platforms .The platforms are without crowd at that time ,but the vagabond platform kids , both teen sand adults wake up and wait for this golden moment As the wagons move away from the platform after the unloading is done they become enthusiastically active to clean the platform and the rail line . They gather a lot of scattered fish from platform and under dirty rail line which are slipped from the porters hands as the porters have to hurry to unload quickly; as they need the platform to be cleaned and fresh (without fish-odor )before 3:30AM for starting of the local trains peacefully.
The platform vagabond kids have a good earning by selling the free fish .But the money are used not only for food but mostly in abusive activities.
