| Abstract: |
There’s no ‘sole,’ man! An astonishing 87.5 percent of the lemon sole sold in New York state supermarkets is mislabeled, according to a report issued Friday by the state Attorney General. And that’s not the end of the cod job grocers are pulling: Two-thirds of the red snapper inspected was another fish and 28 percent of the “wild” salmon wasn’t wild at all. Instead, the primo fish were often substituted with cheaper knockoffs: fresh salmon was replaced with farm raised fish, lane snapper was marked as ‘red’, swai was packaged as sole. |
