I'm astonished at how much fishing is going on around Europe. I expected that around China/Japan/SE Asia, but Europe? I've lived all over the US and in my experience hardly anyone eats seafood (we certainly never ate it growing up in California, Florida, Texas, Oregon and Puerto Rico and I've never met anyone who mentioned that they have recently eaten seafood). So I assumed Europe would be the same (since a lot of our culture comes from Europe). Maybe people are secretly eating more seafood in the USA than my experience would assume, or Europeans just eat way more seafood that I would have guessed.
