Fish leather on the BBC

[mikesc]

Steinunn Gunnsteinsdóttir admits that it took her family more than a few attempts to be able to make leather from fish skins.

"The first 200 times we just made smelly fish soups," she says.

Ms Gunnsteinsdóttir is the sales manager of Icelandic company Atlantic Leather, which owns the only fish tannery in Europe.

Overlooking a fjord on Iceland's remote north coast, since 1994 it has been processing the skins of salmon, perch, cod and wolffish.

Just a note, despite what the article says , They are by no means the only fish leather tannery in Europe, one of our French TV stations ran a programme around 3 years ago ( which I recorded ) featuring two women who own a fish leather tannery in France supplying the bespoke shoe trade..There are others elsewhere in Europe..Interesting nevertheless..There are a few companies in France selling various types of fish leather amongst their "exotics"..

Well that's about typical for modern journalism -- a copy pasted press release filtered through the publication's political bias and minimal basic background research conducted.

lets not get political but because of larger animal flatulence large pieces of leather will be in short supply so fish leather might be the next best thing.

I doubt I'll see a significant decline in the availability of bovine hides at the high end of the market within my lifetime, regardless of the environment. Beeves may fart but people like steak and milk too much -- and there's a lot of different ways to raise cattle than simply "shove it full of soy as fast as you can".

Then we've got deer, pigs, buffalo, sheep, goats and other larger animals, none of which are in short supply either in the wild or in agriculture, before we start being limited to things the size of salmon. Nothing wrong with fish leather, but plenty wrong with that article.

What's threatened about the leather industry? What's leather got to do with the ozone layer?

Sorry folks that invention had to be well the design team can't figure out how the cows tail got in the maceration gears that caused a blockage F.L.A.B. that caused the explosion ! full story tonight on CNN and possible films@11 people say a congressional group of - - - -   are looking for possible connection with the incident to the Trump Administration this could be considered an attack on progressive machinery .
