I've seen it done.. Tilapia crusted with some form of lemon or other flavoring.. Tilapia being one of the cheapest fish to buy still selling for over 10 bucks a meal at restaurants.. Same thing with haddock dinners: They are being replaced by cod, cod, and more cod. Tastes the same, butter and lemon added and few notice--the price can stay the same too, even though cod is reasonably priced and much lower than fresh haddock.
The new world of dining out in restaurants offering up cheap ocean meals--good luck on trying to find fish without the high amounts of mercury or chemicals added. Farm fresh? Gag me with a fishing hook!
An NBC affiliate is detailing out more about the fishy story. The news station says that Kansas City restaurants are not selling the fish that they say they are on their menus..
The station even caught restaurants serving red snapper.. but it wasn't that at all.
You are what you eat--but not always what you think you're paying for.
