| Abstract: | When it comes to fish, you aren’t always getting what you ask for. And when you buy fresh salmon, you could be getting duped almost half the time. Oceana, a nonprofit seafood conservation group, did a study back in 2015 and found that 43 percent of the salmon they tested was actually mislabeled. Most of that salmon fraud ? we’re talking 69 percent of it ? mislabeled farmed salmon as being wild-caught salmon, which is typically more revered. |
