It's the penultimate day of Helsinki's annual herring market, and Helsingin Sanomat has decided to take a look at the fishing industry and its current difficulties.
Finland's fishers have been told that the herring catch must be reduced to near zero next year, in order to preserve fish stocks.
That has gone down like a lead balloon at the fish market, where the nation's herring hunters gather and sell directly to consumers from their boats in Helsinki's market square.
This week the All Points North podcast casts a wide net to learn how a small fish became the centre of a big debate involving a traditional dish.

HS notes that domestic consumers eat only four percent of the catch, making the herring market a somewhat inaccurate representation of the industry.
A fur farm or a Baltic pickling plant would be closer to the truth, notes HS. In the 1980s Finns switched from herring to make farmed salmon the country's main fish product.
HS quotes a WWF representative as saying that Finland had long thought herring stocks were robust and could withstand the current level of fishing, but that has now led to a situation where the country's 400 or so professional fishers could be banned from fishing altogether.
Marin meet and greet
Sanna Marin has asked for the media to tone down the intense focus on her private life in recent months, but her Instagram account continues to provide a lot of material for popular stories.
Last month Marin visited Paris for a Victoria Beckham fashion show, a trip that was covered extensively in the Finnish press.
This week she gave a speech to students at UCLA, focusing on making change in the world and inspiring young people to do the same.
That prompted some coverage, including on this website, but her IG story mentioning lunch with Sharon Stone caused another round of media attention.
HJK's triumphant draw
HJK Helsinki are playing in the Uefa Conference League group stages this season, and they got their first point on Thursday evening.
A 1-1 draw with Aberdeen was a creditable result, but the Scottish papers were disappointed with Aberdeen's performance and especially with the refereeing.
A clear elbow from HJK midfielder Giorgios Kanellopolous left Aberdeen striker Duk needing treatment, and the Daily Record reports that the reaction from the Aberdeen manager Barry Robson was scathing.
"I need to be careful what I comment on but I think that tonight, with the level of player and the level of game, it has to be officiated at the correct standard," said Robson. "I didn't think the standard was right tonight. A lot of things happened tonight that weren't right."
Local paper the Press and Journal was disappointed with their side's performance.
"Facing HJK Helsinki, the team lowest in the Uefa rankings the Dons will play in Group G, at home was perceived as a must-win," said the paper's match report. "Aberdeen did enough to win and should have secured three points – but they didn’t. This was a missed opportunity for the Reds."
