Well you should either ask a fisherman, or do some research, instead of asking someone you know is lazy and talks pretty much out of his arse.

I've looked into it and I haven't heard a reasonable argument in the last four years. I was hoping you had heard one, possibly even before you voted for it.

It seems though that the proposed solution to whatever our fishing woes are is to leave the EU, only fish in our own waters, catch fish we generally don't want to eat, and make it harder to sell them to other countries.

I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, let alone what I was reading five years ago. I thought it was about quotas and territory, but I could be wrong. I know you find it hard to believe, but I did do a fairly large amount of reading before I voted. But I also smoke weed, and weed really does effect memory.

We don't tend to eat eels, but we do want to eat cod and haddock in large amounts.

We mostly eat beef and chicken. Fish is pretty minor in our diet.

The typical person here eats beef or chicken most days, and fish maybe once or twice a week, if that.

Most of the fish we eat comes from the EU. 20k tonnes of cod last year for example.

Same for our exports, mostly go to the EU. About 25% of our fish exports are salmon that we sell to France. Whether they'll still want it once all the customs paperwork is added and we're threatening to shoot up their fishing fleets is an interesting question.
