Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

Give a man an industrial-grade hydroponic fish farm, he will eat in perpetuity until the machine fails and someone has to pay an engineer to go fix the fish machine on a Saturday morning.

With my luck I'm the engineer.

Maybe give a hydrolysis plant for an ammonia generator, feeding an ammonium nitrate cooling pack factory. Extending the workable time catching fish, while producing sterile fertilizer for deep water.
