Antropologisch Kieskompas: Sea the Truth

By Veerle Joanna Vrindts To me, no smell is as revolting as the smell of dead fish.  I prefer making a detour when a fish market is near in order to avoid the rotting stench and the staring, dull fish eyes.  Nevertheless, every year billions of fishes are consumed by human consumers.  In the Netherlands, the consumption of fish is increasing and the Ministry of Agriculture, Well-being and Sports even funded promotion campaigns like “Van vis krijg je nooit genoeg” (“You never get enough of fish”). Quite strange, especially if you know that our oceans will be empty by 2048 if we keep up these fishy eating habits!
