Bucky: So, as you see from the free sample I've provided, my fish fizz sodas are production-ready. Rob: Bucky, I'm not giving you money to produce fish soda. Bucky: Why not? Rob: The most immediate reason would be the eyeball floating in this glass of orange roughy crush. Bucky: Yeah, yeah, I thought that could be a gimmick. You know, like the worm in tequila. Satchel: Oh! Like a hook! Bucky: No, I'm pretty sure I got all the hooks out.
While orange roughy is delicious, it is unfortunately not a very sustainable species.It grows slowly, reproduces late in life, and is extremely vulnerable to overfishing. As a deep-sea species, farm raising isn’t a practical option.Also, due to their 100+ year lifespan, they tend to accumulate higher levels of mercury than other commonly consumed fish.
