If we stop buying known cyanide caught fish, the problem goes away because the bad guys have nothing to sell.


But if we have no proof that its cyanide caught or not. How can we quit buying them??? I for one will not, to the best of my knowledge, buy cyanide caught fish. But, even with a "stamp of approval" how can one be 100% sure, unless we start drug testing every fish?
