But nobody drops a dime or confronts these Pirates?

Everyone knows how much you risk if you get caught poaching.
You could loose your permits, your Capt's license, Your drivers license, Your vessel operators permit, maybe even your gear. Along with a whole bunch of other stuff.
Plus The buyer risks a lot also. A restaurant could loose it's right to operate. A fishmonger could loose it's right to operate.
on and on and on Risk vs Reward is not even close
