(ON) Toronto Star - In a cross-Canada investigation, fish sold as wild Pacific salmon turned out to be farmed Atlantic salmon. Sea bass was actually endangered Patagonian toothfish, marketed as Chilean sea bass, which is a different species. Cheaper skipjack was substituted for sushi grade tuna.
Tilapia stood in for snapper and even white tuna. “Bluefish” from a Chinatown shop turned out to be a species of herring that’s not even listed in the official database of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. More




Last summer a student DNA tested 60 samples of seafood to test if the labels on fish were accurate. She found 25% of it was not what it was supposed to be. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/08/22/sushi.dna/index.html
