Sadly, I missed the Skype discussion with Courtney Kingston. I say sadly because I love drinking wine and am intrigued by South American wines. I also have a fondness for the brilliance of marketing the Patagonian Toothfish to the rest of the world. A premium, delicate white fish, the Patagonian toothfish was "discovered" in 1977 by a fisherman named Lee Lantz who was looking for a new fish to introduce in the American market. Fishermen he was riding along with had inadvertently caught the fish, and Lentz remarked at its bass-like flavor and texture, perfect for the American market. He worked up a new name, Chilean Sea Bass, and worked for years to garner its acceptance. Ultimately, the Chilean Sea Bass has become so popular that it is now in danger of being over fished. This same trajectory has happened with Orange Roughy (formerly slimehead) and lobster - traditionally marginalized assets are transformed through marketing and hard work into premium products.
