Abstract: Somewhere in Charleston, a catfish Po'Boy might be served that's not catfish at all. It might be flathead, a type of sole. That would be seafood fraud — a practice becoming more rare here but still a serious problem nationwide. The conservation group Oceana genetically tested fish from 21 restaurants, grocery stores or seafood markets in the Charleston area for its latest Seafood Fraud report, which was just released. Only one came back as not the species advertised: the Po'Boy a local restaurant sold.
