In the past decade a new documentary comes along every so often that is so powerful, persuasive and frightening that it actually has the power to change the way we as people think and act. One of the most recent ones The End Of The Line, based on Charles Clover's book, is just that.

Filmed over a period two years, it examines the long-term costs of our ravenous appetite for seafood. If we continue to fish and consume on the scale we do now, most seafood will be extinct by 2048. We would literally have fished the seas dry, and leave nothing behind for the generations to follow..

This doesn't just mean an end to fish and chips, and pan roasted Dover sole, but the very real prospect of mass starvation, too. As for the bluefin tuna, time has pretty much run out already. Stocks are collapsing and extinction is imminent, all because we can't live without our fucking spicy tuna roll and god damn toro sashimi

Now, I'm as guilty as the next chef or avid sushi goer, of unthinking consumption, and faced with a deep red, fatty, marbleized glistening slice of the tuna, well shit, I would go for immediate pleasure over long-term conservation. Who wouldn’t, right? Well actually after watching this documentary, you will never see me munch down on anything bluefin, even if is the farm raised bullshit fish mongers are trying to pass of as sustainable!!

The End Of The Line isn't just content with revealing the awful truth, but offers solutions, too; such as reducing the number of fishing boats that search the oceans, and putting large areas off limits to the trawlers.

Finally, educating us, the consumer, about sustainable fish, and making sure we buy our fish from certified fisheries. Sensible, pragmatic and downright terrifying, this film is a definite watch …..

One more thing, Mitsubishi, yeah you know the people who make cars and tv’s , well they own the majority of tuna caught as well, with the mind set of conroling the market once these fish have been extinct.. if blue fin tuna is somewhere around $65 a pound now, how much will it be then..
