Alas, I am allergic to it. Plus, I don't want to drown like most of my uncles and their uncles have done.
Zakk:
I was in Halifax for a conference last year. I took a tour up the coast and saw monuments for lost fishermen. It was shocking to see how many names were on some of those, often fathers and sons side by side. Amazing how we can take something like a can of salmon for granted when you stop to think of the real cost of it.
ChadTower:
A lifetime of commercial fishing usually ends in either drowning or debilitating arthritis. Especially in Nova Scotia / Northern Maine. If you fall into the Bay of Fundy you are dead. There is no coming out, the tides are too violent. Besides, to be honest, most nothereastern fishermen can't swim.
Zakk:
They can't swim but they can catch a hell of a tasty dish! Too bad you're allergic, it's one of my top 5 dishes in the world. (maybe top 3!) :)
(I never would have thought some of those guys can't swim!)
