I was excited about the possibility of local "sea food", but reading further I found that all 60+ of the farms closed when the state closed it's processing facility. This brings me to wondering if aquaculture is sometimes good, or is it always an ecological problem?

When I lived in TN (and was an omnivore) Red Lobster was a place we went often...here, they are mostly out in the suburbs so I have not been to one in years. Now I certainly would not want to support them (there are too many wonderful indy places any way). It is wonderful that you have access to local fishermen. I have such location envy!
