Woah, didn't know you can get so many fish in shallow waters there. Impossible in the mediterranean.

I was kinda hoping this was traditional shrimp fishing with Lieutenant Dan. But this is okay too.

Interesting. Why impossible in the Mediterranean?

You won't find fish of similar quantities near the coastlines.

Because:

• Most Mediterranean coasts are rocky, or at least quite steep. Shallow waters that extend for miles are unusual.

• Best time to go fishing grey shrimps is at ebb tide (I did it often as I was a young boy). There are no tides in the Mediterranean!

• Furthermore, grey shrimps thrive in troubled waters near estuaries. They are much less common in the Mediterranean Sea: water is too clear and too salty.
