As lively as a fish in the water?

As lively as a fish in the water?

When I was a child eating fish was cheap and healthy. I can remember the endless supplies of cod liver in oil in tins I had to eat (and the raw minced liver of various animals, which I hated) because I was anaemic. My mother thought that I should eat fish for the same reason. Anyway she liked fish and therefore you would find herring in her potato salad. I couldn't eat that so she would feed me and would try to hide a piece of herring behind a piece of potato before she would try to shove it into my mouth. No chance, I was on alert. Don't get me wrong, I like fish, just not on my plate or in MY MOUTH. 

We all know that fish is not a dish for the poor anymore and that the oceans are empty. I don't want to put you off fish but is it really a healthy choice anymore, particularly if you think about the pollution of the sea? While I was doing some research on the Internet about water, my husband who gave me a hand came across this little video. I think it was published in 2017 but I cannot make out when it was actually filmed. It exceeds the playtime of the videos I normally post but if you have a spare hour I urge you to watch it. It was a real eyeopener for me. Never thought that the Baltic sea is so polluted. And think twice before you reach for the fish for dinner tonight.
