Filler-Oh-Fish


Nicolas Daniel’s documentary “Fillet-Oh-Fish” takes a critical look at the fish industry, featuring .. footage from fish farms and factories across the globe.

Many still have a romanticised view of fishing, but when it comes to large-scale food product, the picture is actually rather grim.

Today’s fisheries are faced with a range of severe problems, from over-fishing to chemical pollution and genetic mutation from toxic exposures. As noted by the producers of the film, “through intensive farming and global pollution, the flesh of the fish we eat has turned into a deadly chemical cocktail.”

Despite that, the fish business is booming, in part due to efforts to keep the dirty underbelly of modern fisheries from public sight. 

Aquaculture promotes itself as a sustainable solution to over-fishing. But in reality, fish farms actually cause more problems than they solve. There’s really little difference, in terms of environmental pollution, between land-based feedlots and water-based ones.
