Bluefin tuna was extinct some months before.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />Huh?!</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Overfishing is a serious problem. For instance Bluefin tuna is scheduled to leave this planet by 2012!</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Maybe it is, indeed, too late to save the Bluefin tuna, but there are a lot of other fish species that still can be saved from the extermination.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />As foodies, we have a particular responsibility in this regard. Some of us maybe even more than the average chef, because we spread our recipes all over the web.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">So it is our decision, yours as well as mine, what kind of fish we cook. Better we make this a wise decision, otherwise we keep being a part of the overfishing problem.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I confess, in the past I never wasted a thought about this, but now being aware of the alarming situation, I feel guilty. That's why I started this blog.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br />Soon I will provide you with more information.<br /><br />Stay tuned!<br /><br />P.S.
