Abstract: The seafood industry has an issue with fraud. Study after study has proven that’s the case whether it’s the Office of the Attorney General in New York finding that over 25 percent of seafood at supermarkets in the state is mislabeled or a UCLA and Loyola Marymount study finding that nearly half of the sushi served in Los Angeles wasn’t what it purported to be. That’s literally coast-to-coast. And if you want proof it’s a global problem, the advocacy group Oceana nailed that report down in 2016, determining that about one-fifth of all seafood around the world was mislabeled.
