Yeah, all I would like to say is that this market is down by the local docks, very near where we live... they buy right from the commercial boats, the commercials pull up to the markets private dock to offload their catch. Really not trying to turn this into a slander thread (as we are now off the thread topic - sorry for that), but I wanted to express the point that it seems that "some" of the commercial guys are so blinded by $$$$ signs that they are willing to completely decimate the entire fishery for the dough, and harvesting egg carrying prawns and delivering to the market is only pure proof of this. Now the average joe (who does not fish), that always gets their fish at the market would never realize the ramifications of an entire batch of prawns bought from the fish market containing eggs. If they did, they would also likely not support that fish market anymore, but as said most average joes/janes would not understand what it means to harvest prawns with eggs.
BTW - Mom did go in and voice her concerns (she is absolutely not afraid to do so when she knows she is in the right), and she was brushed off, which for her,,, well you might as well throw gasoline on the fire, so for the rest of her days, and our whole family as well she and we will not darken their door. This is a personal choice to spend our dollars at a business that has and lives by morals that are similar to ours (not that ours are necssarialy "right", but they are our morals), just saying.
