| Abstract: |
Canadian consumers forking out for seafood are not getting what they pay for. What masquerades as sea bass, cod or wild salmon could be a far cheaper catfish, pollock or even a fish dubbed “the laxative of the sea”, according to a national report from advocacy organization Oceana Canada. That poses a serious risk to consumers’ pockets — and public health. A seafood counter is shown at a store in Toronto. |
