Our appetite for fish keeps growing

IRISH people still clinging the old faith probably ate fish on Good Friday, even if some of the traditionalists might have been reluctant enough about it.

And, while the number of practicing Catholics is diminishing, our consumption of fish is going up.

We’re eating more fish and the Irish Sea Fisheries Board has just reported that sales of seafood, in 2006, increased by nine percent to €724.6 million.
