Doing in the Hoki

The hoki or whiptail, often the anonymous fish in fast-food sandwiches, just might be on its way to giving us a happy case-study of industry and regulators reversing what had been rapidly growing risks of overfishing (as with red snapper, orange roughy, monkfish, and so on) and other ecological damage (the killing of other species of fish, mammals, and birds).

Me too. I was going to add "Phish" to our Phronesisaical headtext as one of our interests, but the word is already taken by a Grateful Dead knockoff. We'll stick with Phruit.

"Whiptail" must come from the way sushi chefs do the hoki poke. I'm thinking that's what it's all about.

You're completely wrong, MT. Though the hoki population was shaken all about, the hoki turning itself around is what it's all about.
