I buy fish caught as locally as possible … most of it caught by identifiable boats … none of the industrially packaged stuff caught be heaven knows who and heaven knows how.

I like fish. I eat it regularly. There are microplastics in pretty much all food and most drinks and in the air. You won't avoid ingesting them by not eating fish

I live just a hundred meters from sea and fish is my favorite. My father loves go to fishing and now he is retired and on the sea almost every day. His last catch was 4 kg conger few day ago. It will be for Christmas eve lunch. Fish is tradition for Christmas eve in my part of the world. Now, at winter, is season of squid fishing.
I’m not buying fish from supermarkets any more, it’s kept in disgusting appalling conditions, this is what they state... Fish comes from responsibly managed farms, and fisheries to continually improve their high standards of quality, welfare and sustainability. There has been a lot of protest lately about salmon from M&S, they state their fish is fresh caught in the wild, when in actual fact it’s farmed in appalling conditions in Scotland, they’ve done nothing about it as yet I don’t think, except not advertise it on tv.
I don’t want it caught in the wild, full of plastic, definitely don’t want it caught from farms.
Frozen fish is sent to China for filleting and packing then sent back to us.

We love fish (OH and me, not Possum) but buy stuff caught off the coast here and Norwegian salmon from LIDL cos Possum does like that. Never ever buy Scottish salmon nor stuff imported from far away, especially tropical prawns.
Our favourite is whole hake and cut it into steaks and a tail to freeze and eat in different ways. When I can get it I buy Vieille, a kind of wrass, and ling - more sustainable than cod and tastier too. Rarely see haddock here but sardines are a local speciality - very good barbecued.
