Thank you - I just read that one, and it's still inconclusive. The
article cites several concrete examples of fraud, and it rightly laments
the lack of proof of origin of much fish, but the main conclusion one
draws from the article is that we ought to ask for more information. It
doesn't suggest or conclude, that I can find, that the majority of our
purchases are of fraudulently identified fish, and it doesn't help me at
all in determining if any one retail source of fish is going to be safer
than another.
