This month, Oceana released a groundbreaking national report on seafood fraud, and the results were outrageous. Over the past several years Oceana tested 1,215 fish samples from 674 retail outlets in 21 states, and DNA testing confirmed that fully one-third of this seafood was mislabeled—that is, what we ordered wasn’t what we got.Sushi bars were some of the worst culprits—nationwide, sushi bars mislabeled their fish 74 percent of the time. We hope that our report’s shocking results will lead to greater traceability for our nation’s seafood from bait to plate. We need your help: Tell your representatives to stop seafood fraud today.
