Thailand gets first fish exported from Fukushima since 3/11

 

FUKUSHIMA – A shipment of Fukushima fish landed in Thailand this week, marking the prefecture’s first such exports since the March 2011 nuclear crisis.

 

“We’re delighted to be able to sell fish worldwide from our prefecture,” said Kanji Tachiya, head of a fisheries cooperative association in Soma. “We’ll ship safe fish.”

 

Fukushima is working to support its fisheries products to dispel lingering concerns about radioactive contamination from the triple core meltdown at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant run by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.

Exclusive to ThaiVisa, pictured, the Fukushima Fish.

I hope they're correctly labelled.

Call me a chicken, but I don't think I'd have gone for the very first shipment.  Let someone else be the guinea pigs... 

 

Someone with proper inspection and lab facilities that aren't subject to supplementing their income with brown envelopes.

I'm gonna  use it to power  the farm.

Microwave (al) ready!

Just what Thailand's fission industry needs, more imports.

Radioactive fish vs antibiotic shrimp. Who will win?

[TeaMonkey]

This is typical of the Japanese stubbornness to force exports of possibly contaminated food. Fukushima is still a disaster zone with lethal amounts of radiation. 

South Korea don’t want this seafood.  http://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/business/article201714584.html

The fish is flounder and will be used in sushi and sashimi dishes served at 12 Japanese restaurants in Bangkok. I guess the fish will be unknowingly consumed by a cross section of consumers. Hard to imagine the menu will have the qualifier that the fish is sourced from Fukushima and may be radioactive.

Or basa from the polluted waterways and farms in Vietnam and sold as "dory fillets" in the Thai supermarkets and restaurants.

Don't see what's the problem,  very easy to locate at night

This could reduce the nocturnal accident rate of pedestrians among sushi enthusiasts as they cross the streets as radioactive enlightened ones.

Btw. Thailand's ignorantness after Chernobyl filled the coffers of many, when tons of milk powder, processed from contaminated milk from East Europe, were sold here.

Mental note, get myself a Geiger teller ...

I will have a Fukushima roll and some Miso soup as a antidote:

I bet the first batch of fish tested weren't from Fukushima but every shipment that follows will be. When it come to the big dollar sign you just cant trust officials.

I think I will cross off Fuji restaurants from my list of best place to eat.

Oh I don't know, it would have come in handy in one or two of the less well illuminated dens of iniquity I frequented in my younger days...

[Dap]

Oh happy days, Thailand's the very first.

I'm gonna' guess it was a GREAT deal.

Now where did I put my geiger-counter?

And on arrival they will be tested and the lies will come from the mouths of 'Officials' telling us that all is well and everything is up to 'Thai standards'.   We won't be told where the fish are going to be sold, the whereabouts will be lies too; so i think this calls for a boycott on fish eating for a spell until i see who 'lights up' first and dies a horrible early death, whilst all those 'Officials' make excuses about why it wasn't their fault !

[mike324]

the plant is still leaking and surprising the world is not more worry about it ...

[connda]

They're exporting fish with the amount the tritium and other nuclear waste that still is being dumped into the ground water and out to the Pacific?  Going to have to start taking a Geiger counter to the market or quit eating fish.  That's not good news in the least.

[connda]

Fukushima Flounder will be perfect for making fission and chips.

Coming soon Chernobyl Chicken, "With six legs the whole family can enjoy a drumstick".

 

Added bonus, it glows in the dark so you can find it when the power is off.
