The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 864: Is Trawling Destroying Alaska's Fisheries? · 20 Apr 2026 podcast

So then you start to look at this essentially foreign country that's scamming the U S out of using us workers.

Uh, they had a bunch of EPA fines, um, et cetera, et cetera.

So there again, when we think of

Guys that go fishing or when we hear from the trawl lobbyists that say we're just common fishermen too, you know, sorry about, I'm not well-spoken.

I'm just this little low key fishermen.

The biggest Pollock holder in the Bering sea is American seafoods.

That's half owned by private equity, you know, with backing in another nation.

Yeah.

It's been really fascinating for me to watch this reaction in Alaska, because like we say, nobody wakes up tomorrow and decide suddenly that they just love trawling.

If you make money from it or your parent company makes money from it, or a family member does,

then you'll see people that'll defend it and say, well, it's an economic engine.

Maybe this isn't right, but nobody just converts.

So would you ever do a debate?

I don't know.

The, uh, the interesting thing to me is that I don't really see it as a debatable issue.

You know, there's this ethical component of this.

That's pretty hard to get around.

So, um, you know, we could say you're, we're going to debate whether hunting is ethical or not.

And,

I know what your stance is going to be.
