It was over-fished, but is now at a "more sustainable level". The
problem is the "by-catch" with both methods of fishing for it.
Notice, they are only talking about American waters - not Canadian.

Agreed. At that price, I wonder what it really is. I like it too and
if I ever see it again at the fish counter - I'll buy it. I suspect
it will be offered in restaurants before that, but I haven't seen it
on any menu (not even as a special) in a very long time.
