If it�s white fish it�s usually Russian, and only sent to China for processing.

The Russians are now doing the same ****ty stuff in Northern Pacific as you crazy Canucks did outside Newfoundland 15 years ago: Fishing the ocean dry.

Enjoy the cheap Russian/Chinese fish when it�s available. In a few years it will be over.

I can remember the "Be American, Buy American" sloga and campaign. It was well intended.

Since u would expect to pay more, a lot of companies were busy changing labels. WalMart got caught "washing" clothes from from China.

Most made in America stuff is actually made in China now with a Made in America stick on it.

The government should empose heavy scantions on anything imported from a comunist country as most of the labor is slave or prison, and there price under mines the prices of simular products sold in the USA, that are actually made in the USA, causing USA companies to lay off workers and close their doors.

Just look to the Semi - Conductor market for more proof on that one.

WTF? You can catch fish this way? I thought fishing was just an excuse to get away from the wife and stand around at the edge of the lake drinking beer with the boys.
