Abstract: That wild sockeye salmon in the refrigerated aisle may be straight from the fish farm. New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood says in a report released Friday that more than one-fourth of the seafood her office sampled in a statewide supermarket survey was mislabeled, reports CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan. Underwood says mislabeling of certain popular species was rampant. She says farmed salmon was frequently sold as wild and fish sold as red snapper or lemon sole was more likely to be a different kind of fish than the real thing.
