wasn't what was listed on the menu, fraud — possibly with a dash of damaging carelessness — in the seafood industry is an epidemic. And yet, even though this problem has been well publicized, each new report seems to show that little has been done to fix it.
Digging back into specifics, the OAG report describes the "rampant" mislabeling of some species thusly: "The results suggest that consumers who buy lemon sole, red snapper, and grouper are more likely to receive an entirely different fish. Similarly, consumers who bought what was advertised as 'wild' salmon often actually received farm-raised salmon instead. Such consumers had often paid more money—on average 34% more—to avoid farm raised fish.
For what it's worth to actual New Yorkers, the report broke down the state by region, and some areas fared far better than others. Seafood in New York City was mislabeled over 42 percent of the time, whereas all 28 of Buffalo's samples can back accurate. As a broad rule, the farther out you got from New York City, the better the results became.
