Holy mackerel! Taking care not to rock the boat, I hope that Mr Copp has been trawling the internet and gets the drift of what people have to say about his attitude to fishing. I cod get up on my perch and explain to this gentleman the scale of his idiocy.

The case for building a big wall around london grows stronger every day
But some folk don't know you have to kill pigs before you get pork

Some of us Londoners (brought up in Yorkshire) take our kids into the country in Spring to show them the lovely lambs that they so enjoy eating for Sunday dinner.

Next weeks trip to an abattoir for mr Copp and his two preciouces isnt going to end well then is it... 
I'm sure he is entirely aware that fish are caught in boats. I suspect his objection is to people doing actual jobs in the West Country, when everyone knows it's just somewhere to take your family on holiday to.
Fishing should only take place in less aesthetically pleasing seaside locations, for example Humberside.

At 4 I heard about a horse being sent to be turned into dog food and realised from there that meat is made of animals.The case for building a big wall around london grows stronger every day

I promptly went, and remain, vegetarian.
People have no business eating what they don't understand.

Which is why i am perfectly happy eating animals as i know those cute fluffy things running around the cousins croft in Shetland make the most fantastic lamb chops
I live in a village close to the sea in Dorset.
Down here, we sometimes get visitors/tourists contacting the local newspaper to complain about the noise made first thing in the morning by the sea gulls. 'Something should be done to keep them quiet', they say ....
Similar people, BTW, retire down here, then start complaining about mooing cows, cocks crowing, and about church bells ....

Now everyone has had a laugh at the chap's expense it's perhaps time to point out that if seafood smells fishy then it has probably been left rotting - so fair enough to complain.
Fresh fish does not smell fishy, it smells of the sea. Fish that smell fishy are at best, well past their best, or at worst, off. Crustaceans are generally alive when brought ashore, so again if dead or stinking are probably off.

Oh, and I had forgotten - some people object to having to drive their cars down country lanes which usually have cow pats all over them. 'That could damage my car's paintwork', they say ....Down here, we sometimes get visitors/tourists contacting the local newspaper to complain about the noise made first thing in the morning by the sea gulls.

And did it say anywhere that the fish was to be consumed? No. It could well have been waste fish. Fresh fish does not smell fishy, it smells of the sea.

As for fish smelling of the sea, you go makeral fishing, after handling the wriggling little buggers straight from the briney you smell your hands, I guarentee they will smell as fishy as a f**k.
