Last week it came out that herring fishing — the last commercial fishing done in the San Francisco Bay — would be closed this year. Now some fishermen oppose the move, despite the fact their industry group supports it. Herring roe boomed in the early 80s because it was reported to make women “”beautiful, brainy and sexy.” [SF Chronicle]
