Shrimp dustup again? The USA is having some trade arguments about shrimping too I read.

I wonder if shrimp can be "farmed" like fish? I suppose it would be expensive but crap shrimp's expensive anyway. I do love the little critters though, they's mighty tasty. Got a Chinese restaurant near me ( called Fu Li, which sounds kinky ) that makes this salt and pepper shrimp that's utterly delicious. It's shrimp ( headless but still with the shell and legs ) battered with some salt and pepper and spice batter, deepfried and then wokked with onions and jalapenos ( jalapenos? Well it works ). Oh man it's good.

shrimp creole, shrimp n grits, shrimp cakes, shrimp bisque...

Just don't eat shrimp. About 4 pounds of other sea critters have to be caught for every pound of shrimp. Poor poor critters...

Mandarin having an 'All You Can Eat Shrimp Special' soon I guess.

Oh f*ck! The sh*t is really going to hit the fan now! I was thinking about going on vacation to Denmark, but I'm afraid they'll mistake me for an obnoxious Canadian =/

bubbaprog: Does this mean Tim Horton's won't be serving Danishes anymore?

No, they'll just be called "freedom pastries" from now on.

you know, i'm sitting here, studying the most god awful horrible subject ever - civil procedure - (don't ask why i'm on fark right now) - anyway, i'm so messed up right now, that i can find the silver lining here. this is the kind of shiat that countries used to go to war over. i feel fairly confident that Canada won't invade Denmark, or the other way around because of this. lets hear it for the evolution of man!

evidence rule 606.b sucks my balls.

Bad idea about farming shrimp. Fish too. They corral them in nets and feed them processed food. There are no predators or prey getting in, and no fish getting out. Imagine a cattle ranch, but with 50,000 head of cattle 5 acres. What lands on the ground?

So the area confined in the net becomes biologically crapped on and dies. Areas that have had fish farms lack almost all the natural life. It also keeps the fish together and more apt to develop disease. Ever hear of whirling disease? And parasites, too. Wild salmon is healthier and tastes better too. There are a few fish, like catfish, that can be farmed, but only in manmade lakes.

So this is how world war III starts.

Lots of shrimp are farmed here on Oahu.

Under the rules of NAFO, the countries filed an objection with the organization and set their own quota at 1,344 tonnes.

awe come on they could have asked for 3 more tonnes...

/dork

Not only the crap, but all the fish food that doesn't get eaten... Eeeeeew.

and my 3 more i mean...shiat...i got caught farkign up math...dammit..stupid dependence on calculators.

World War III anyone :-X *puts on tin foil hat*

Dont those canadians know anything?

The right way to resolve disputes is to invade the other persons country!

Canadians are such war-hating scumbags.....

get your farmed shrimp from vietnam - they've been aquaculturing there for over 500 years.... apparently they know what they be doing...

Do not cross the Canadian Line of Death!

mattberg "i feel fairly confident that Canada won't invade Denmark, or the other way around because of this. lets hear it for the evolution of man!"

Well thankfully Canada and Denmark have evolved. Unfortunately if they were our (U.S.) shrimp fisheries, we would have already sent bombers to destroy all of Denmark's fishing boats and infrastructure.

bubbaprog: Does this mean Tim Horton's won't be serving Danishes anymore?

Winner!

Let's just hope they stay on good terms with the French, so they don't lose the crullers too.

You can farm shellfish pretty well...... Oysters and such...

mattberg
I disagree, Canada v. Denmark in a royal rumble would make for great TV.
/100 mi Bulge Rule rocks!

Malaysia paid for some Boeing 777s with shrimp. I shiat you not.

At least... um... Canada and Denmark... uh, er... hmm... Nope. Shrimping regulations do not good jokes make.

Shrimp farm just outside Lexington, KY

So who wins this soon-to-begin WW3? Canada or Denmark?

Touche, Consdubya.

But shellfish don't move around much, do they?

Oysters galore on the Oregon coast. Five in my area. A lot of mud flats that were already there. Just jam some sticks in the mud, some netting... You get a pearl every now and then too, my mom got one for her anniversary after my dad almost ate it.

/leaving now, I swear

Quick, launch the war canoes!

Are 4 pounds of sea critter edible as well?

/hungry

Deployment of our subs from West Edmonton Mall will only take 7 days tops.

captain canada on standby...

I LOVE the mandarin.. i just wish they had one on the west coast... all you can eat shrimp mussels and all that deep fried shiat.. Its surprising that Canada is actually taking action.

shiat... quadraton beat me to it.

damn danes!!!

scourge of the north atlantic ... worms of the sea.

Like their scruffy ancestors, they want to sail over here and claim our land. Now they are also hungry for our shrimp.

I say we slap them silly! Of course, that would mean less peacekeeping and more daneslapping but I am all for that.

Hmm, Bush is in Canada this week, it's all his fault somehow.

mattberg "i feel fairly confident that Canada won't invade Denmark, or the other way around because of this. lets hear it for the evolution of man!"

That is because the invasion began months ago ... it is in the news ... just no one cares.

Denmark's already a prison

There's something shrimpy in the state of Denmark...

True dat...

Here in Australia they are having problems with agressive seals, who jump/bite themselves into the sea-pens, and go nuts eating.

They also attack the fishermen around the area by jumping into their boats and threatening them....

/Couldnt believe it myslef at first, then saw footage on our version of 60 minutes...

Imagine that....Canada vs Denmark. Our fishing trollers are probably more capable than our busted ass subs.

UN Security Council calls emergency meeting

I've already started a shrimp for food program.

mmmmm... scrimps

Take it the canadians have penis envy?

/didn't read artical
//thought it was funny for a moment

I bet 90% of the replies to this topic will be from Canadians, simply because no one else cares and that us Canadians tend to reply to all topics regarding our country, no matter how ridiculous.
