Giving the fish to charitable causes would be a good median I believe.

That's the difference between the US and the Japanese. They allow whales and dolphin to be taken for "scientific study" After the "study" is completed, 100% of the take ends up in the seafood markets; sold for profit. It is just a rather transparent vehicle to allow commercial whaling. At least with our system there can be no question of ulterior motive. Still hate to see all that fish wasted.
