I find it comical what restaurants label as certain fish on their menu vs what species is actually being served.

The tainted foods are mafia and black market doings.



60 Minutes did a story on the Italian mafia completely hijacking the olive oil industry. Really interesting stuff.

I talked to an owner of an old well known place with a great reputation up the river while at lunch a few weeks ago and he admitted that he uses that instead of local catfish. I'm sorry, but it pissed me off to learn this info.


Well what restaurant is this?

Actually, until sugar cane supplanted it, the Glades (the south side of Lake Okeechobee) was the "Winter Vegetable Capial of the World". Lots of corn grown there, as well as other vegetables. Castro turning Cuba communist and removing the Cuban sugar from the market made a lot of cattle ranchers and corn farmers very wealthy.

Watch the Penn & Teller episode of bullshite about organic food. It exposes these dumbasses.


Watch Penn and Teller everything. I recently went up to Vegas and saw their show, it was kick arse. Teller talks afterwards, and Penn calls everyone boss and plays a fantastic stand-up base.

The catfish most people are selling in restaurants is swai
US govt does not allow you to sell swai as catfish. It's illegal


Since when? I've worked at restaurants where that's all we used. Granted I haven't been in that line of work for a while
