Should fishermen consume the fish they catch, or should they simply release them?
<|assistant|>
In general, it is best for fishermen to consider the local regulations when it comes to consuming fish that they catch. Generally, fishermen should avoid consuming sensitive species that are regulated as endangered or threatened. Many states, such as Washington, also require a licence in order to consume fish from the wild. Furthermore, it may be beneficial to release a certain number of fish in order to sustain the species, as directed by local law.
