No we care. In fact the NSW state government has banned eating fish caught in Sydney Harbour for the last few years, due to heavy metal and dioxin contamination.
Chris, thanks for the definition of flake, but I think we (down here), already know that (as Aliantha pointed out). It seems that flake is still sold in Brisbane and Melbourne, and it might well be sold in parts of Sydney (it is a very large place), but as I said previously, I have not seen it for sale in my local area for many years. The reason I asked Aliantha if she was confusing flake with hake, was that many people used to confuse the two - it was a common error, but since shark has gone off the menu in Sydney, and hake seems to have too, for that matter, the confusion has dissipated somewhat.
