it's actually not their problem either
they won't be able to make the hooks with which to catch the fish anyway

Problem solved and mission accomplished

Now the government of Sunak's regime will have no free fish anymore.

Good, may they never return. There's no reason they should anyway; not like Russians can't be the ones to fish in their own waters...

russia gaining back its sovereignty

Are they allowed to catch other fish there?

Okay, that was an attempted joke. Having skimmed the article, I see they're not catching fish in the traditional sense, but farming them. I envisioned fishing as "you catch what you catch," so it just seemed strange to me that they would be specifically barred from catching haddock and cod, as if it was something in their direct control. Apparently it is.

Not that trawlers are especially discriminating. Historically, they just scrape everything and throw the illegal stuff back in the water.

No steel, no steelhead.

Happy hunting to the Coast Guard! Britain should fish its own waters. (Oops, Thatcher destroyed the domestic British fishing industry).
