It still tastes like chicken

Our leaders are always imploring to diversify HK's skills so we can continue to be a world-leading economy. So someone follows the advice and gets arrested for their trouble.

Police in Hong Kong have raided a floating fish farm used to refine smuggled South American cocaine.

Officers seized about 400 liters (106 gallons) of a brownish solution in buckets, which could be turned into US$1.54 million (Â€1.16 million) worth of cocaine, on the fish farm, a police statement said Friday. A Peruvian national and three Hong Kong men were arrested.

I can see the concern. Overfishing is enough of a problem without making the eating of fish addictive. It could turn the drug trade on its head. Anyone smelly decidedly fishy can be arrested for smuggling coke. Fish markets can offer a sideline as a drugs supermarket. Cod and coke, heroin in your hake and grass in your grouper.

I'll stick with chicken.
