When it comes to seafood, nearly half of what you think you’re buying at the grocery store or ordering from a menu is falling short of its promises, according to a new DNA testing study by Oceana Canada. The ocean conservation group tested seafood samples from restaurants and grocery stores in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and found that 46 per cent were mislabelled.
On purpose…
Damn, I’ve may never have tasted what I thought I bought.
I noticed the grocery stores aren’t jumping up and down about this.
Like the bread pricing collusion the courts stated they did.
On porpoise?
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
You made that comment just for the halibut?
Probably all he cod think of…
Sounds “fishy” to me.
Maybe he debated whether to post it, but then said “Abalone. What the hake,” and began writing.
Oh, clam up!
This is no plaice for levity! Stop floundering about for puns!
I ray-ly like musseling in on these punning shootouts. It’s like the OK Coral in here!
Ok, I am tired of herring all this.
Don’t look at me. I’m trawling a blank on this.
Maybe in a minnow or two I’ll come up with something.
Whale, I’ve gotta get back to work, but I’ll piranha list from time to time to see if a bigger grouper contributing.

Some of these rejoinders were real stinkers because they sure smelt.
I admit that I made my comments because I was bored, without anything else to octupi my time.
It’s difficult to say who’s getting prawn’d. A friend or anemone, we kelp coming back for more.
And still we honour the punning code, as handed down in stories from time immemorial, by follow the rule: Once a pun a time…
Jonah what? There’s nothing worse on SDA than a crappie piscine contest, especially from a high perch….
I guess these comments are an example of squid pro quo.
(cue background cries of “Enough, already!”)
Will grocers and restaurants skate on this?
(I’ll join you!)
Shit, this whole thread was underwater from the get go.
You floundered in your attempt to skate by.
I recall a story, perhaps ten years ago, where a group of students were given an assignment in their biology course to test DNA from different fish from grocery stores. The surprise is that they discovered this very thing, that a lot of what was being sold as one thing was in fact something else. A specific one I remember was that something much cheaper was being misrepresented as red snapper.
Well, if you catch it yourself, as do my in laws from NFLD, it is what it is. Only stupid people think otherwise.
so the liberal government has done nothing to implement their “solution”, guess that “drag performances” are more important than protecting canadians
Just don’t lie about my Brunswick Sardines.
Gee, I wonder if this is due to the fact that most seafood these days is “product of China”?
That would be C-food.
So, would Prinz Dummkopf’s favourite song lyric be:
I’d like to be,
Under the C…..
Oh I’m sure that has nothing to do with it. China is reliable, trustworthy and never cheats. ~sarcasm~
Similat stories have been around for years with nothing done. Do thousands of DNA tests and charge and fine each grocer at least $10,000 per occurrence. It will quickly end. The grocers will quickly learn where to source their fish. Hint – it won’t be China. People, please don’t ever eat food from China.
Try finding tuna that doesn’t come through Thailand.
100% of Tilapia is trash fish. Any fish that eats it’s own feces … tastes like what it eats.
There are a shit load of bottom feeders out there. No pun intended.
Catfish, but man a whole Lotta bone.
Gotta be filleted and deep fried … only way to eat catfish
I don’t see why some of you can’t take it seriously. After all, it’s a whale of a problem.
So in a grade school class the teacher had students testing various meats.
The methodology was that she would pass out a little taste sample and the students would guess the meat.
First the teacher passed out steak…and everyone said beef.
Then some chicken and everyone correctly identified chicken.
Then some venison – and all of the kids were stumped.
The teacher said “Here, I’ll give you a hint, when your father comes home from work your mother says hello d***
And a little boy in the back jumps up and says “Spit it out everybody! It’s A$—ole”
This fish stuff has really improved my mood. I am going to grill loin lamb chops about an hour from now, with fresh corn boiled, not on not on the BBQ.
Thanks for the contributed laughs one and all!
Great netting…
I know it’s bad.
