A Favorite Fish Experiences Identity Theft

Washington Post
This story doesn't surprise me at all as my mother was served a fishy, skinny little piece of fish pretending to be grouper two or three years ago at one of those crazy-busy, big fried seafood places.

I just thought it was a mistake and they had brought her someone else's plate with sea trout or spots or whatever, but the waitress and then the manager were very defensive about it - they allowed her to order something else but insisted it was grouper and implied we were just being overly particular and/or didn't know anything about fish. I have never doubted that it was something else, but at least maybe the restaurant got taken, too, not just us as the consumers!
