yeah, they picked out the ice and there was only a couple of ounces of liquid in the bag when I unwrapped them(no, none was absorbed by the newspaper either. So that wasn't the issue. I think the scales aren't right.
Another thing with another place..... I suspect they repackage swai and sell it as local farm raised catfish.
As far as filing a complaint or to report where do you do so?

Department of Agriculture - weights and measures division.
Just know if you report them that there are a lot of factors that go into weighing fresh seafood. It's not as cut and dry as going home and weighing the product on your home scale.
It's possible they could still be screwing people if they have a hidden scale or something that isn't certified. If you do report them, the dept of agriculture will most likely go out there and check the scales.

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.
