It’s odd to see people quick to point out LA being a shite hole but at the same time, quick to be offended over misleading Louisiana food labeling.

A) I don't see how those things are mutually exclusive and B) people generally don't like being misled about the quality of the food they're paying (now higher prices) for

Its illegal to go over the speed limit, but it would be hard to catch everyone doing it.
The biggest one for me is the fish. I like Catfish and I will order it somewhere if its listed as Catfish knowing there is a good chance it will not be Catfish (but its a better chance that if its just listed as fish).
Its disappointing to get a "Catfish Atchafalaya" and its obvious its not catfish and the crawfish is Chinese crawfish because every single on of them are the same size.

Catfish. What they're serving is this Basa. Chinese cheap meat. Some people like the taste but you can taste the difference. Even in how it tears. Others will just label it "Fish" then when you ask, it's "Catfish".
In the US, catfish farmers replace the water in the stock ponds continuously from underground aquifers.
In Vietnam and other South Asian countries, they also raise the fish in ponds, but they replace the water with water from the rivers. The raw sewerage from cities and towns is dumped into these rivers. In the US we enjoy the environmental safeties required by businesses to follow to insure that clean water goes back into our rivers. In those countries, all manner of pesticides and chemicals get dumped into the rivers. All this crap makes its way to those fish ponds.

Restaurants frickin' suck and people should cook more and eat out less.
If more folks tried, they would discover that with a little practice they can prepare food better than almost anything they can find in a restaurant.

If you are getting crawfish in august, it’s not from here.

So now we love the EPA?
But beyond that, fecal coliform bacteria is polluting most of Louisiana's waters, and most of it is coming from rural/suburban home sewer systems. The biggest problem is that most of the people with failing systems just don't care. Everyone wants to live in the country or suburbs, but no one wants to pay for the services.
Make no mistake, the waters of Louisiana are a disgusting mess - and most of the residents don't care.

Acme uses swai. The worst part is I used to like it until I asked and they were honest… it’s still shameful.
Chimes catfish definitely looks legit though.

I wonder if the catfish at Middendorfs is American caught/ raised?
Anybody know for sure?

Pretty positive Middendorfs is buying US farm raised catfish. Don's Seafood, on the other hand, serves "catfish" according to their menu, but it neither looks or tastes like it.

I may be in the minority but basa / swai tastes better than domestic catfish. Doesn’t have that blood line giving you that muddy fishy taste. If it wasn’t for how it’s raised and where it comes from it’s a superior eating fish.

The refined pallet can actually make out what region the feces in the meat comes from.

It’s always amazed me they can buy fish half way around the world to sell cheaper than 10 miles up the road
Hard for me to understand that

Basa (or Swai as it's sometimes called) is a catfish found in the Mekong and other rivers of SE Asia. I always thought basa was a species of carp, but still avoid it, and tilapia, like the plague and don't buy any seafood from that part of the world. Some of their aquaculture are fed with human waste.
This is interesting:

"Catfish war" in the U.S.
In 2002, the United States accused Vietnam of dumping catfish, namely P. bocourti and P. hypophthalmus, on the American market, arguing that the Vietnamese exporters, who are subsidised by Vietnam's government, constituted unfair competition.[9][10] With pressures from the U.S. catfish industry, the United States Congress passed a law in 2003 preventing the imported fish from being labelled as catfish, as well as imposing additional tariffs on the imported fish.[11] Under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ruling, only species from the family Ictaluridae can be sold as true catfish.[3] As a result, the Vietnamese exporters of this fish now label their products sold in the U.S. as basa fish, striped pangasius, swai or bocourti.[12][13]
At the height of the "catfish war", U.S. catfish farmers and others were describing the imported catfish as an inferior product. However, Mississippi State University researchers found imported basa were preferred three-to-one to US catfish in a small (58 testers) blind taste test.[14]
