It's red snapper, or is it?

DNA tests expose fishy labels for red snapper

Apparently 75% of the fish in the US labeled as "red snapper" is actually other species of fish. I find this particularly interesting, because, living in the U.S., we pretty much don't really think about the process that gets our food onto the kitchen table. Unlike the old days where you went out and caught the animal yourself, these days we just sort of trust that the USDA and the FDA are doing their jobs to make sure the food supply is safe. Kind of makes you wonder what it is we are really eating.

Is it chicken or a foot? Just some tampering.

huh. So that's why the red snapper looks different every time I see it in a store. That always confused me.
