Dozens of repeat offenders in fish mislabeling - Boston Globe

According to the Boston Globe article, New round of DNA tests finds dozens of repeat offenders in fish mislabeling, and "imported fish...makes up about 91 percent of the seafood Americans consume."

Yikes!  So, when you're eating at a restaurant, you are really dining on blind faith and possibly banned chemicals and antibiotics.

*Imported Fish - Could your seafood contain chemicals?

Thankful to live in the Northeast where we have access to fresh, locally caught seafood.  I have not purchased "imported" seafood for years and understand that the price of cod might go up a dollar or two in the winter depending how how many storms we experience.

*Way to go Alabama for being one of the few states that tests imported seafood for the banned chemicals, antibiotics, etc.

This fish was caught and released.
