Flying Fish?

The climate impact of the global seafood industry is problematic. Salmon, tuna and lobster are rapidly flown to locations, where top dollar is paid, rather than being frozen or super-chilled. The problem is especially well-illustrated by plans of the Faroese salmon farming company, Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost have bought their own Boeing 757, to speed salmon fillets to Manhattan in 24 hours (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/21/salmon-firm-plan-fly-fish-boeing-757-alarms-campaigners). Bakkafrost's plane is essentially being converted into a flying refrigerator. The company claim that their move will improve sustainability, by cutting Bakkafrost's carbon footprint. Campaigners point out, however, that flying salmon fillets from Scandinavia to the US, generates 17 times more carbon dioxide, than sending these items by boat. Rich people not only generate enormous carbon footprints via their personal travel, some of their upmarket food seems to add to their totals.
