The problem is the bits in the middle. This is where the famous atlantic cod banks were, for centuries, and are now gone because nobody could regulate that part of the sea.
Actually, Iceland and Canada both claimed parts of the atlantic at one point to try and regulate the trade, and we almost went to war with Iceland. Can you imagine a war with Iceland? How ridiculous.

Yes there are areas of the sea that aren’t “owned”, and they tend to be out in the very middle of vast oceans. The areas close to shorelines are designated as territorial waters which, in theory, are closely monitored. The problems come because there is a lot of competition in the fish industry. The British government owns waters which contain threatened species (Harbour porpoise for example, which the government is doing a lot to prevent by-catch etc) however the animals move around, which often means they stray into waters that aren’t monitored. If a fish stock moves into British shores, its in our benefit to catch as many as we can before they move into someone elses waters. Governments have control over their waters, but not anyone elses. Unfortunately fish don’t need passports to cross borders.
We can call on our government to take action within their boundaries, they just can’t do anything if the fish leaves our shores. I do also think that fish stocks aren’t the goverments highest concern, in which case, like you said, we need to start by eating different fish.
