What Is Going On With Sushi In California?

Thursday, May 3, 2012 Be Careful What You Order: Fish Is Being Mislabeled All Over The Place This article comes to us courtesy of California Watch By Susanne Rust If you're in LA or Orange counties, odds are you're not eating the fish you thought you were. A report released last week by the environmental advocacy group Oceana showed that 55 percent of the seafood it tested in the two counties was mislabeled. Nearly 120 samples were collected from seafood restaurants, grocery stores, sushi bars and restaurant chains. The report is just part of Oceana's ongoing nationwide investigation of seafood mislabeling. "Be on the look out for seafood sleuths in the Bay Area," said Geoff Shester, Oceana's California program director. He said the organization has volunteers and staff actively testing fish in restaurants, grocery stores and fish markets from Monterey to Marin.
