There are NOT plenty more fish in the sea. Dear Mr De Niro,

It’s people in your position who have the power to turn the tide of insanity so please make a stand.

There are NOT plenty more fish in the sea.

At the end of the day, tuna has traditionally been the most commonly used fish in sushi so it's not that simple to re-write tradition, look at cod in fish and chips. Indeed time delays in cultural adjustment to environmental change is a regretable but real feature of human societies. Additionally I don't think it's fair to constantly attack businesses who at the end of the day are supplying what the majority of the public still want. The state of the planet including fisheries is everyone's fault and to some extent I personally find it counterproductive singling out people/businesses as it somewhat absolves responsibility from everyone else. If they have put a warning on their menu, surely aren't the customers who are still ordering tuna not equally if not more responsible? Shouldn't they be the one's named and shamed?

The fishes: "Yeah we're looking at YOU!" De Niro: "Go f**k yourselves!" The fishes: "You said it meatball. That's about only way we'll survive." The fishes: “We’re looking at you, De Niro, yeah YOU”

De Niro: “Are looking at ME?”

The fishes: “Yeah we’re looking at YOU!”

De Niro: “Go f**k yourselves!”

The fishes: “You said it meatball. That’s about only way we’ll survive.”
