Well it would be strange to find alaskan pollock in Irish waters
You thought the Alaska Pollock was from Thurles?

Long aul trip from the Bering Sea
whatever about the origin, the price difference for this ‘brand’ is insane. the dunnes/aldi version beside it tastes the exact same to me and half the price
What a load of Pollock
(Sorry)
Is it just me that wouldn’t mind if they used farmed fish instead?
I feel like fresh fish (no matter where it’s caught) is much more problematic.
Reminds me of that time I went to India Today in Christchurch vicinity, ordered lamb chops which was noted as “Irish Lamb” and the waitress told us they had run out of it and their order was embargoed in UK due to “brexit”
May not? It almost certainly hasn’t, ever.
Coming over here, impersonating our fish…
Seems like an unnecessarily long journey for fish to get to an island.
Did they have extra carbon taxes they needed to spend before the end of the year or what?
You think that’s bad? I’ve seen Chinese chicken in Tesco and Dunnes.
Ive ordered from a place called gannets fish mongers in galway in the past,they do deliveries to your door and their focus is on sustainable fishing, not necessarily form Irish seas they just focus on making sure anything they sell is caught fairly.
Who knows if they’re really true to their word but the fish is delicious at least. I can’t stomach Donegal catch anymore.
They’re even coming from Gdańsk to be the meal
My whole life has been a lie.
They’ll keep your complaint on file. In a filing cabinet.
Fish box ?
Donegal catch, got some of their cod recently in batter…. Put it on a baking tray but fuck me the amount of liquid that came off it was mank…. Back to Captain Birdseye it is…
That’s an awful lot of food miles…
It may not have been caught in Polish waters either. Fish is regularly processed in lower cost factories within the EU.
Looks like microplastics back on the menu boys!
Just stop eating fish.
Launched in the 90’s , the largest fishing vessel ever built was originally Irish registered.
This is worth a read for an insight into the controversies that followed, not an in-depth article by any means but a decent brief overview that hits all the main points.
To think that they bitched and moaned about a problem of their own causing all the while plundering anything that swam in West African waters still sickens me to this day. Shameful & sickening carry on that still does not get the attention it deserved.
Cod caught off the coast of Scotland is shipped to China for processing (filleting), then shipped back to Scotland for sale. Because it’s cheaper to ship it than hire labor to fillet it in Scotland, apparently.
Maybe the green isle of Canadia
Alaskan Pollock is what is in most breaded white fish and the majority of your chippers and restsurants. Its a farmable species. Sorry to break the news but Cod are nearly all gone.
Fishing industry is a load of pollocks
You mean it’s not donegal catch!?
>Donegal Catch: Trawler Fresh Atlantic Salmon
This translates as:
>Donegal
English firm Northern Foods, based in UK
>Catch: Trawler
Farmed fish
>Fresh
when frozen
>Atlantic Salmon
name of variety, farmed in the Pacific (Chile)
So, basically everything is a lie on these packets.
same with Honey. a lot of it comes from non-eu countries.
Of course it’s not caught in Ireland, it’s caught in the ocean.
