Abstract: It’s a hot and muggy Saturday morning around the Lynnhaven Inlet. But inside Dockside Restaurant and Marina it’s nice and cool for Kevin Seldon as he peels shrimp while surrounded by a large variety of fish and seafood that sits on ice, waiting to be purchased. Seldon, one of the partners who own Dockside, is talking about seafood fraud and the most recent report by Oceana, a global organization that works to protect the world’s oceans, which found that as much as 20 percent of the fish and seafood sold in the United States is mislabeled.
