It “can” be mislabelled at times especially if the value chain has a lot of participants. I’m South African & let’s just say I run a supermarket. A fish caught in Canadian waters is sold to a wholesaler on Canadian mainland and packaged for wholesale distribution in Africa. That’s flown down and sold to manufacturers and processors in South Africa, they then pass it down to different companies that package it and label it for different supermarkets that have ordered the fish in its true form or different derivatives/variations of the fish. By the time it gets to any supermarket there’s well over 5 companies that have participated and probably 2-3 companies that have packaged it on its way in whatever form it’s actually in. Only one of these has to be corrupt and the whole operation is screwed. In places where the supply is limited it’s worse because you don’t have other options to source or other examples to compare quality and price.

When I lived in Louisiana in the 1990's I was shocked to find out that the crawfish I had been eating everywhere was actually Chinese imported crawfish. Local Louisiana crawfish is immediately sold to France at a much higher price. To this day most Louisiana residents have no idea they are eating Chinese crawfish.
You right about most but My ex Uncles from St. James that’s all they’ve ever done. They sell it expensive but you buy it at the dock. You can watch them come in. Most of the. Crawfish labeled Louisiana sourced is a lie, they just have to have 1% of anything, like the liquid in it and it from Louisiana..
The label they showed saying 'Wild raised Salmon' or 'Salmon raised in the wild' has the same energy as clothing belts labeled 'Genuine Leather' that put most real leather belt makers like me out of business over paying $5 to $10 dollars less for a garbage product that is the cheapest and thinnest leather on each side from a questionable source with pressed cardboard, or things worse for the inviroment in the middle, and polyurethane or PVC finishing the sides. If you pay a little bit more you don't see the shiny smooth sides instead you see the belts stitched together all the way down the length on each side of the belt with a seem in the middle. Then people wonder whether belts or even purses that this is done with don't keep their shape for more than a few months to a year and men wear belts out sometimes within 4 weeks to 3 months on average. They are bad for the environment and not sustainable because they constantly have to be replaced and often use products that are bad for the environment and come from crude oil byproducts. I make belts from the hides of cow's that go to slaughter for meat anyways and will last you 10 to 20 years or more, at least 5 years if you wear it and a tool belt nearly every day in all weather with no care for it beyond hanging it up to dry when you get a chance.
In Germany we got a similar thing with milk. To experience options are "Heumilch" meaning hay milk and than there is "Weidemilch" meaning pasture milk. While Heumilch means that the cows are out on the meadow if possible by temperature and weather and have to eat hay when they can't go out. Weidemilch on the other hand pretends to be Heumilch and just sounds nice, but has no regulations. Could be 24/7 in the stall without even a window or fresh air and only eat grain an soy. Possibly even GMO grain and soy. I mean likely.

I think the optics is more in a sense of barriers of entry for fishers all around to go there. That way forces the market to only have a few fisherman, in order to make any profit.
That's on the very low end for a salmon fishing permit too. In some parts of Alaska, Salmon Fishing Licences can range from between $15,000, all the way up to $180,000, depending on where exactly you want to fish, and how (trolling, line fishing, etc). I think it's because only a certain amount of people are allowed to fish in a certain area, and some areas are much more plentiful than others, so it drives the prices up or down, depending on the season and how it has been performing.
Alaska is still harvesting to much salmon! They take so much that the native peoples in the Yukon have not been taking their subsistence fishing rights for years. The gov of the Yukon has massive conservation programs running to try to keep stocks from completely crashing.
@@PhilipPetrunak did you miss the part where these fraudulent assholes are selling fish filled with mercury to us and charging us for an entirely different fish? I agree with this chef, if someone is going to lie and poison you they can get the guillotine.
I completely agree, but I also have a gripe from the other side. If you bought a pound of some bs fish for 20 bucks and were told it was bluefin tuna, then you went home and cooked it up and liked it. Were you scammed, or just exposed?

Fishing for shrimp with the wrong nets and then throwing byproduct dead fish back in the ocean which constitute 98% of the catch, was the most devastating for me. Can there be no use for the fish that you have already killed anyway?
It is not as bad as it seems. Dead or alive everything goes back into the echosystem. So even tho it is horrible for the individuell animal for the Environment its ist absolutly sustainable
I trained as a chef many years ago, and Australian barramundi was a menu item. We were actually using frozen Nile Perch from Africa(a close relative of Barramundi) and it was significantly cheaper for the restaurant to use.
I like barramundi. Living in Texas, I,m lucky because we have the Gulf of Mexico and can go to HEB Grocery store and buy Gulf shrimp and fish which are the real deal.
I’ll never forget my husband and I went to a restaurant and they brought out a fish dish that wasn’t what they said it was on the menu . It was just a case of “he said/they said” I was hungry and urging my husband to just eat it which he did. He is a fisherman and knows his fish. We never went back there. The more I think about it the madder I get. They weren’t backing down at all just flat out trying to tell my husband he didn’t know what he was talking about- he was certain and I am too 😤😡
I was head chef at a fancy seafood restaurant. I currently work at a seafood restaurant that's not fancy. I'm also a fisherman. I'm the only one who's worked at both companies who know what the real deal is. I'm the only fisherman. I don't trust anything from the company I work for. The wild caught salmon definitely isn't. I know my fish. I've been fishing for 41 years.
Did you leave a review at least? I was at my local bike shop 2 weeks ago. I just moved here so the place was new to me. I go in there and ask some questions when i see a guy take my bike, walk out with it and attempt to walk around the corner with it. I shoved him in the back and asked him just what he thought he was doign with my 4000 pound carbon bike. Turns out it was the mechanic. But he did not inform tha the was gonna move my bike aand also was going to move it into a position where it could very easily be stolen as it was totally out of sight. He mouthed off at me claimin gi was aggressive ect. HE totally handled this the wrong way. I left a bad reciew on trip advisor that is now getting read as i am notified that people are reading it.
“Raised in the wild” is technically a correct term for farm raised salmon from ocean pens. Until recently every fish was either “wild caught” or “farm raised”. Any term besides those two is immediately suspicious but not necessary fraudulent
In most cases the fines are part of doing business as they will make more money. No slap on the wrist will ever deter anybody. Corporate polluters are known for getting slapped on the wrist. It is only when private prosecutions happen that they get scared
Cost of a few select fish from a restaurant I worked at for a while.. Be suspicious if you find these items on menus for significantly cheaper. Mahi Mahi (mostly Florida caught) $35-40 Redfish (Texas) $30-35 Jumbo Sea Scallops (New England) $35-45 (per 4) Sole (Rhode Island) $32-36 Crab Cake (Maryland) $32-36 Ruby Red Trout (Colorado) $30-34 Big Eye Tuna (Hawaii) $38-42 Halibut (Alaska) $40-45 Swordfish (Hudson Canyon) $35-40 Salmon (Farroe Islands) $30-34
@@aliensoup2420You as the consumer should be able to tell the difference of what you are eating or buying...and know when something is BS. Each type of fish typically has a very distinct flavor and texture and the appearance and feel in raw form is also distinct. Also I would like think most would be able to tell the difference between an actual jumbo sea scallop and cookie cuttered piece of fish.
The color of farm-raised salmon is not a good indicator anymore as farmers have been shown to add color enhancing food for their fish so that their flesh would be as vibrant as the wild caught ones.
@@empiricalfishing1187 lol salmon feed is 70% vegetable matter and 30% fishmeal and fish oil hundreds of pens where we live and not one person here would ever eat one too many growth hormones and antibiotics in every pen without exception
Shoutout to Chef Clark for holding it down. If you can't afford it then don't eat it. No reason to be upset that rare ingredients are pricy. The food industry already has low margins, especially if you are being honest. Consumers don't understand that at a good restaurant, dishes only cost a lot because they have to.
Watched an "expose" video about places selling crab and lobster rolls using imitation meat. I'm no rocket surgeon, but if I am paying $10 for a crab or lobster roll, I'm not expecting it to have $15-$30 worth of real crab or lobster meat. Yet, people are still shocked and pissed off over it.
I stopped eating seafood from restaurants years ago. The only time i eat seafood is when we go to Florida on vacation. We stop by the local fish market that runs their own boats. We select the catch of the day and cook it ourselves at home. I don't even trust the restaurants on the coast. That $25 fried "grouper" sandwich is is not grouper.
19:08 basically don't order something that's indistinguishable. If you want to enjoy lobster or any other expensive food, try to enjoy it in its least processed form
@@reklessbravo2129 well, that's because it's been heavily processed. If it's indistinguishable in its unprocessed form, then probably shouldn't either (unless there are health reasons)
If you can afford to go out to eat, it's all risk no reward, or you can catch your own, it's no ones business, it's a way of life, it's you against the world in your journey of your life, no cost,
Thank you, I watched this whole show. My heart breaks for all these dead fish that were illegally caught. The ruthless death many endured, the blowing up of ships in the ocean 🫣😭😭😭😭😭😭 can’t we do better there?? The fake caviar grossed me out. Everyone should watch this, The Cove and Earthlings ❤❤❤❤
Italy is getting overrun with blue crabs. They need to take advantage of this and Market worldwide. Blue crab is the sweetest and most delicious crab. No butter needed.
In Canada- there is no wild atlantic salmon for sale- if its atlantic- its farmed. Sockeye and pinks are readily avialable, coho slightly less, wild spring salmon isnt generally available due to scarcity and the size of the fish (too large to be sold as steaks or fillets).
Grew up a son of a highliner salmon fisher out of port Orford saw the farmed salmon from Chile and BC replace the wild fish. Then it was death by a million cuts that has almost eradicated the chinook salmon. As the demand was replaced the need to solve the problems had no priority. Just now taking down dams in Klamath.

I worked on a fishing boat off Long Island NY in the 60's and we were employed by NY fisheries to catch sharks when the populations got very high. When we got to the dock restaurants would take the shark meat and I asked the guys what they were used for, they told me to make fake scallops. We cut steaks and cut them with a round cutter to make them look like scallops.

I buy from a small seafood market called the Fish Peddler East in Fort Lauderdale about once per week and their stuff is real. The prices they charge are way more than Publix, which sells garbage fish that are OLD. DON'T buy grocery store fish!

This video is truly fascinating and informative! The information about the most faked seafoods in the world is presented clearly and engagingly. Business Insider's approach to this topic not only provides valuable knowledge but also helps viewers become more cautious when selecting their food. A very interesting perspective on the global food industry! 👏
24:06 this whole section of the video made me so sad. seeing them just throw off the fish and sharks as if they’re junk. i am sure mother nature will run its course and some other animals will eat it but they did not deserve such a cruel death. just look how much fish covered the floor!
This has been going on since the beginning of time. Unless you catch and clean your own fish, you're rarely gonna get whats advertised.I grew up in the Keys from the 50s -80s and we ate fish when I was young to supplement costs of food. Most fish have a different texture and you can tell BUT, it has to be a really different type of fish to be able to tell the difference. Red Snapper is probably the easiest faked because there are many different kinds of snappers. Mahi is easy to recognize if you are used to eating it, but can be sold using well-bled amberjack.
some fish like snapper and sole have many different variations, most you wouldnt be able to tell unless you saw the fish whole, but theyre all sold under a generic name for clarity and marketing. Something as small as a different color tail, spotting, can indicate a different species- but its all sold under a 'family' name.

I got some "scallops" at a grocery store in Pittsburgh (Shop N Save, I don't mind putting on blast), and they were shark, not scallops. They were ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
It’s not water quality issues that the problem it’s over fishing let’s all be honest I live in a fishing community and there’s 200 commercial boats that go out every day. How is that sustainable? It has nothing to do with water it has to do with the amount of licenses that the states are giving out, which is ridiculous, I believe there should be moratorium on all fisheries for five years And that is for commercial licenses
Not being a food snob, like an ancient Roman; if it tastes good then I am fine with it especially when it comes to seafood. Some things are just too silly to be expensive and/or eaten like sturgeon roe. FFS it's fish eggs, and it is nasty. Anyone who says different as in "it has nice piquant notes and a sweet flavor of whatever" is just eating it because someone else said it was a delicacy (ie; boy are you somebody if you eat this shit). Some foods might be a delicacy, but that doesn't make them edible, nutritious, or worthwhile to eat. I mean, Cesium 137 is rare, and you can eat it, but it would be silly and deadly to do so, BUT think of the celebrity you would have for being able to say you have sampled this delicacy... until your flesh sloughed off, and you died in mind numbing paroxysms. DE-LISH!
That’s the same as saying uranium is tremendously sweeter than sugar so we should use uranium rather than sugar. A lot of these are priced based on benefits vs lack of risks. The average person not being able to tell simply means they haven’t had the quality one before, just the scam one. I eat salmon very regularly and I can tell you after farmed salmon for a few days I find my skin and hair gets oily fast, their fat content is wildly high and their flavour isn’t the same, wild caught fried in butter has a very distinct taste as where farmed just tastes “fishy” and there’s nasty blots of congealed fat all over the fish as the heat melts it out.
Very informative. I had no idea that they can counterfeit seafood like shown. My mom's brother was a lobsterman and I remember him bringing in boxes of live lobster for when we visited our relatives in Maine. When I think of those trips, I remember playing with the lobster on the lawn at my aunts home. Back then, they used wooden pegs to lock the claws. I can recognize real Mainers on how they consume the lobster. They eat everything! Including inside the head and inside the carapace as well as the tail, claws, and legs. My mom used to try and trick me to eat those innards by calling it "stuffing" like a freaking turkey! But she loved that stuff. LOL. We'd also get fresh clams and scallops. It was a real lobster boil.
We were just there 2 nights ago. Since we didn’t have a reservation, we had dinner at the bar and were served by Shawn, the assistant manager who was hospitalized after trying to contain the fire. This is so heartbreaking.
well, about 60 to 70% of the planet's population doesn't have even clean water on tap. So I doubt they are going out to get fast food everyday. We are so amazingly spoiled, clean running water, a/c, wifi. Huge chunks of the world are still going every morning to fetch the days bucket of water out of the river.
I wish one particular group of legislators in our federal government were not doing everything they can to eliminate funding for federal agencies that inspect our foods and that insure regulations are being complied with as far as sourcing, labeling, cleanliness, additives, and the labor involved.
It's a bit of both. Habitat destruction is a big issue for freshwater fish and things that live in brackish water (like blue crabs), but for ocean seafood overfishing is the main issue.
overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and the biggest contributor: climate change. Oysters in the south barely survived oil spills, only to be cooked to death in the heat and the polluted water. rivers getting so warm that salmon wont return to spawn and we lose generations of fish. Its far from 1 problem, its a multitude of issues- and correcting just one might not make a difference.
I've been a commercial fisherman for 40 years the biggest lie about seafood I've ever heard is cutting skate into scallops the meat in a skate has stranded texture it's absolutely impossible to make scallops out of it

I’ll never forget my husband and I went to a restaurant and they brought out a fish dish that wasn’t what they said it was on the menu . It was just a case of “he said/they said” I was hungry and urging my husband to just eat it which he did. He is a fisherman and knows his fish. We never went back there. The more I think about it the madder I get. They weren’t backing down at all just flat out trying to tell my husband he didn’t know what he was talking about- he was certain and I am too 😤😡

It is. Didn't you see the video?

“Raised in the wild” is technically a correct term for farm raised salmon from ocean pens. Until recently every fish was either “wild caught” or “farm raised”. Any term besides those two is immediately suspicious but not necessary fraudulent
@@laurids2826no it’s not. You didn’t watch it apparently lol. It’s a loophole where it’s technically correct
In most cases the fines are part of doing business as they will make more money. No slap on the wrist will ever deter anybody. Corporate polluters are known for getting slapped on the wrist. It is only when private prosecutions happen that they get scared

The color of farm-raised salmon is not a good indicator anymore as farmers have been shown to add color enhancing food for their fish so that their flesh would be as vibrant as the wild caught ones.
The reason wild salmon have that color is because of what they eat and that same food they eat is in the feed that farmed salmon eat
@@empiricalfishing1187so you agree with op 😂❤
@@empiricalfishing1187 lol salmon feed is 70% vegetable matter and 30% fishmeal and fish oil hundreds of pens where we live and not one person here would ever eat one too many growth hormones and antibiotics in every pen without exception
Look at the white fat lines. They can't change what they feed the farmed salmon, which always have thick fat lines compared to the wild ones.
- Exactly. Most of it is colored but they cannot match the identical color so that's a plus. One day they will succeed though. Fraud always wins 😢

Shoutout to Chef Clark for holding it down. If you can't afford it then don't eat it. No reason to be upset that rare ingredients are pricy. The food industry already has low margins, especially if you are being honest. Consumers don't understand that at a good restaurant, dishes only cost a lot because they have to.
Watched an "expose" video about places selling crab and lobster rolls using imitation meat. I'm no rocket surgeon, but if I am paying $10 for a crab or lobster roll, I'm not expecting it to have $15-$30 worth of real crab or lobster meat. Yet, people are still shocked and pissed off over it.
‘Mislabeled’ - the corporate way to say ‘fake’
I stopped eating seafood from restaurants years ago. The only time i eat seafood is when we go to Florida on vacation. We stop by the local fish market that runs their own boats. We select the catch of the day and cook it ourselves at home. I don't even trust the restaurants on the coast. That $25 fried "grouper" sandwich is is not grouper.

If it's indistinguishable you shouldn't buy the expensive version anyway

Cover what happened to Wild Atlantic Salmon. Wild Salmon (except for Sockeye) is gone from grocery store fridges only farmed is left.
I will not eat any supermarket fish I catch all my own fish fresh
In Canada- there is no wild atlantic salmon for sale- if its atlantic- its farmed. Sockeye and pinks are readily avialable, coho slightly less, wild spring salmon isnt generally available due to scarcity and the size of the fish (too large to be sold as steaks or fillets).
Grew up a son of a highliner salmon fisher out of port Orford saw the farmed salmon from Chile and BC replace the wild fish. Then it was death by a million cuts that has almost eradicated the chinook salmon. As the demand was replaced the need to solve the problems had no priority. Just now taking down dams in Klamath.

This has been going on since the beginning of time. Unless you catch and clean your own fish, you're rarely gonna get whats advertised.I grew up in the Keys from the 50s -80s and we ate fish when I was young to supplement costs of food. Most fish have a different texture and you can tell BUT, it has to be a really different type of fish to be able to tell the difference. Red Snapper is probably the easiest faked because there are many different kinds of snappers. Mahi is easy to recognize if you are used to eating it, but can be sold using well-bled amberjack.
i would argue that if you purposefully eat cheap fish, like sardines, then you are definitely going to get whats advertised
@@L83467 I agree with that, just don't think its the same.
some fish like snapper and sole have many different variations, most you wouldnt be able to tell unless you saw the fish whole, but theyre all sold under a generic name for clarity and marketing. Something as small as a different color tail, spotting, can indicate a different species- but its all sold under a 'family' name.

Thank you for your report I would greatly appreciate more reporting on consumer fraud, and what we can do about it. Thank you.
It’s not water quality issues that the problem it’s over fishing let’s all be honest I live in a fishing community and there’s 200 commercial boats that go out every day. How is that sustainable? It has nothing to do with water it has to do with the amount of licenses that the states are giving out, which is ridiculous, I believe there should be moratorium on all fisheries for five years And that is for commercial licenses
really makes you wonder... if the average consumer can't tell the difference, perhaps the market value of the "real" seafood is largely overinflated.
The value isn't always just in the taste but in where it comes from and how it's raised.
Not being a food snob, like an ancient Roman; if it tastes good then I am fine with it especially when it comes to seafood. Some things are just too silly to be expensive and/or eaten like sturgeon roe. FFS it's fish eggs, and it is nasty. Anyone who says different as in "it has nice piquant notes and a sweet flavor of whatever" is just eating it because someone else said it was a delicacy (ie; boy are you somebody if you eat this shit). Some foods might be a delicacy, but that doesn't make them edible, nutritious, or worthwhile to eat. I mean, Cesium 137 is rare, and you can eat it, but it would be silly and deadly to do so, BUT think of the celebrity you would have for being able to say you have sampled this delicacy... until your flesh sloughed off, and you died in mind numbing paroxysms. DE-LISH!
Good point.
Its not all about the taste though. Sometimes its the nutritional value as well.
That’s the same as saying uranium is tremendously sweeter than sugar so we should use uranium rather than sugar.
A lot of these are priced based on benefits vs lack of risks. The average person not being able to tell simply means they haven’t had the quality one before, just the scam one. I eat salmon very regularly and I can tell you after farmed salmon for a few days I find my skin and hair gets oily fast, their fat content is wildly high and their flavour isn’t the same, wild caught fried in butter has a very distinct taste as where farmed just tastes “fishy” and there’s nasty blots of congealed fat all over the fish as the heat melts it out.

Very informative. I had no idea that they can counterfeit seafood like shown.
My mom's brother was a lobsterman and I remember him bringing in boxes of live lobster for when we visited our relatives in Maine. When I think of those trips, I remember playing with the lobster on the lawn at my aunts home. Back then, they used wooden pegs to lock the claws. I can recognize real Mainers on how they consume the lobster. They eat everything! Including inside the head and inside the carapace as well as the tail, claws, and legs. My mom used to try and trick me to eat those innards by calling it "stuffing" like a freaking turkey! But she loved that stuff. LOL. We'd also get fresh clams and scallops. It was a real lobster boil.

Seeing Peter brought back memories of binge watching Whale Wars years ago...
they always said overfishing, and hide the fact that fish decline is from polution and destroyed habitat because of the polution.
It's a bit of both. Habitat destruction is a big issue for freshwater fish and things that live in brackish water (like blue crabs), but for ocean seafood overfishing is the main issue.
@@jayleno2192Over fishing also causes habitat destruction, especially with bottom trawling
overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and the biggest contributor: climate change. Oysters in the south barely survived oil spills, only to be cooked to death in the heat and the polluted water. rivers getting so warm that salmon wont return to spawn and we lose generations of fish. Its far from 1 problem, its a multitude of issues- and correcting just one might not make a difference.

Not necessarily - there is a fundamental concept in economics called scarcity.
