Abstract: WASHINGTON (WJLA) — In its annual analysis of seafood mislabeling in the U.S., the nonprofit group Oceana has found that restaurants and stores in D.C., Maryland and Virginia haven't been telling the whole truth about what they're serving. The report, which came out on March 9, says 21 percent of the more than 400 samples taken in a nationwide analysis were mislabeled, according to DNA samples.
