    Isn’t most of Iceland’s diet fish?

      Maybe, but Iceland is surrounded by ocean filled with fish and most people live on the coastline. That’s much more sustainable than buying live clams/ fresh fish from a chain grocery store in North Dakota

        Just you said the Midwest. And whilst Iceland is surrounded by water, it’s competing on the global market.

            Hang on where is the mid west? Presumably not the middle of the western world…

              The Midwest they are referring to is a region of the land-locked interior of the united states. Generally refers to the states in the region comprising of: Nebraska to the West, Minnesota to the North, Ohio to the East, Missouri to the South, and those that lie between.

                Oh. Seems like it would be wise to say “mid west US”…narrows it down slightly.

                  shrug-outta-hecks

                  The region is actually called “The Midwestern United States/The American Midwest” but longform is so out of fashion these days

          Is the gag that Iceland’s in the middle of “the West”?

            Well, Europe is in the middle of the west, roughly. Iceland is one country I can think of that is dependent on fish.

          I see where you are coming from and that’s my bad, I’ll make the term more specific.

          I was using a colloquialism common to the United States which refers to a group of landlocked areas hundreds/thousands of miles away from the ocean

          They had 3 wars against UK for fishing rights. Won all three too, since they threatened to quit NATO and USA immediately reprimended Brits.

            We’ve fucked ourselves over with fishing rights, there was no point.

            When we were doing Brexit, the pro Brexit politicians got the fishermen on their side. But they’d sold fishing rights to Europe.

              As i see this Brexit was one hell of a hoax. Sure, fuck EU but from the outside of UK it clearly looked as because EU was not neoliberal and imperialist enough for them.
