Trying not to be cynical here but it could be that ASDA customers are of a different social / economic profile to Tesco or other supermarket chains and ASDA just arent selling enough monkfish therefore the positive press generated when they put an eco spin on withdrawing the product from shelves is worth more to them than the sales.....
