A look into the Shady World of Fish Fraud | Food Unwrapped

[@chadoistad]

I used to be in the seafood industry in Seattle. The accounting and inventory software most commonly used in the industry allows stock to come in as one product, and leave as another. It's not just a common issue, it's built in to the business.

[@sixgun1349]

What I don't get is if you cannot differentiate them by taste and you have to bring them to a lab to see what they are why on God's Earth would you pay for the more expensive one when you cannot tell the difference by eating it?

[@DocPetron]

I totally agree. It reminded me of the time years ago when I was at a fancy restaurant that served elk. I asked the server what it was like and she replied that it was very mild and the way they prepared it, it was not gamey at all and taste like beef. So I just ordered the steak. Why am I going to pay for elk when I won't be able to tell?

[@andrefecteau]

because the expensive ones are replaced by the cheap stuff...I live in Florida, 20-30% of all "grouper" isn't....so your $35 dinner? was really something else...fraud

[@ichibanmanekineko]

Yeah it's made. Thankfully I've got two eyes a mouth a tongue and taste buds so I can tell the difference...

[@andrefecteau]

@@DocPetron because unless the beef is "grass fed" which it probably wasn't, the elk would be a superior product in that it is wild and grass fed...not gmo/grain fed like the beef...

[@helloiamalexa]

People like thinking they’re paying a premium. 🤷‍♀️

[@paulson2008]

In india 🇮🇳 we buy whole fish that's why we are rarely fooled, and also we do get "Fish identifying education" from our mom 🤣

[@amk8411]

Do you take the bones out yourself at home?

[@paulson2008]

@@amk8411 Yes if you wanna chop it by yourself, else you can ask the fish seller to chop it right in front of you and in that case they will keep the guts and bones.

[@paulson2008]

@Glenn Quagmire depends from where you buy them.

[@MarkLada]

I only eat fish that I catch myself.. Commercial fishing is a horrible industry.. They just drag massive nets across the bottom of the ocean and catch everything in their path.. I can't support that kind of destruction.. I like to go fishing anyway and you can't buy the kind of fish that I like to eat.. Walleye, Crappie, and Bluegill.. They are the best eating fish that there is.. You guys should look at stocking them into the freshwater rivers and lakes of India.. Very good my friend you like very much..

[@daldon359]

Yeah and then u fry ur fish in dark oil

The most impressive is the tracking of the boats. Can you imagine the military "relative" of this system?

[@samTollefson]

Many years ago I worked with a man that grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida in the '40s and 50's he had an after-school job punching Stingray wings that they cooked and sold to tourists as scallops. They had different sized pipes that were sharpened on one end, he would use the small ones for the thin edge of the wing than use larger ones as he got to the thicker parts of the wings. Stingray is an excellent tasting fish, by the way. I am certain many places still do this!

[@rgruenhaus]

Yes, in Pensacola FL the restaurants were discovered serving a less expensive fish in place of the more expensive local fish!

[@highjix]

@@rgruenhaus where I live, if I go to a place that fries "catfish" 9 times out of 10 it's not really catfish, now if i want some fried catfish I have to fry it myself other wise I will end up with that swai crap

[@tbjtbj4786]

@@highjix whats cheaper than catfish? We count it as a trash fish. And there normally freed whole at restaurants.

[@phedrob3735]

This is exactly what happens in UK Fish and Chip shops. They couldn't possibly sell the huge pieces of cod at the prices they charge.

[@5610winston]

I visited a restaurant on the western Florida coast and found a menu item called "GROUPER'S KIN". The waitress became more evasive each time I asked her to explain what 'grouper's kin' is. I left and bought a fresh whole grouper at a wharf a couple of doors away and watched the monger dress it, pack it, and ice it.

[@ianbeddowes5362]

Coley tastes just as nice as cod but is a bit greyish in colour.

[@mdleweight]

He starts out with "Who'd a thought?" I always have been skeptical that most people cannot tell one fish from another and the market takes advantage of it.
