Another thing with another place..... I suspect they repackage swai and sell it as local farm raised catfish.

Farm raised domestic catfish and swai fillets are very distinguishable between the two of them. Most people should be able to tell the difference. I can tell with a 100% accuracy between the two.

They have had people go to jail for this same thing. Repacking swai as local domestic catfish or swai as imported grouper. For that reason, all seafood you buy has to list whether it is wild caught or farm raised and also the country of origin. If you do not see those two things listed, you should not buy the seafood. All seafood retailers are required to have this information. LA Dept of agriculture or LA wildlife and fisheries will usually check for this on their routine visits.
