What is the oldest fish in the sea?

Swallow Tail Culinary Adventures

They can live up to 200 Years old! That's astounding to me, I wonder if they remember Napoleon? The answer is rockfish. Make sure you don't eat any, because they are endangered in BC. At restaurants in Vancouver you may see them on the menu as 'red snapper', just ask your server to check that it's not rockfish. For more amazingly interesting info on rockfish, check out the Vancouver Aquarium site here.

For fish that you can eat with a clear conscious, we are announcing our Summer Salmon Secret Supper, info below.
