Illegal fish?

[eezergood]

OK, just been to Baan Saan (Zaan) and saw Parrot fish (live ones) for sale openly - am I correct in thinking that they are illegal to sell as food ? If so who ya gonna call?

Perhaps take a pic if you are still in the area.

 

send the pic to bangkok post and they may be happy with getting the scoop. Big photo op for some police chief etc.

I haven't been to the fresh markets in a few years, but when I did go I would see a lot of parrot fish for sale (dead) for consumption along with snappers, groupers etc.

This parrotfish is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROTFISH!!

 

Sorry, coudn't resist!

Parrot fish are protected now.

Why would anyone want to eat one? Greenish flesh and full of bones.....
