They should release the names of the restaurants that failed. Otherwise everyone will assume their favorite local place has been importing their seafood or using catfish from Vietnam instead of farmed in Mississippi.

I know that Hot Tails place has imported seafood. Got the fried fish platter one time, and you could tell it was that Chinese Catfish. Haven’t been back since.

It sheds negative light on places that haven’t done anything wrong.
A lot of this has to do with supplier mislabeling products and and putting a Cajunish name and Logo in the brand while putting imported product in the bag.
The restaurant gets the stuff and the staff doesn’t look or pay attention to the fine print label that says it is Indonesian shrimp on the back of the bag.

Haven’t most restaurants started putting “fried fish” and “fish poboy” on their menus instead of saying catfish?
Quite a few have. But again, the average person sees "fish" and has no clue what the fish really is.
What chaps my arse even more are the restaurants on the gulf coast over in Gulf Shores/OBX/FL panhandle who sell this crap to unsuspecting tourists who think it's some locally caught gulf fish

Since SeaD officials did not test every restaurant in Baton Rouge, they aren’t releasing which restaurants are falsely advertising their shrimp.
Then what the frick is the purpose of having the article in the first place?

It’s almost slander by omission.

You’re like the first only one who asks. Don’t come here with that

They said they didn’t test everyone and only put out the names that passed. I think the untested that would have passed may have legal recourse

The shrimpers must also speak Creole French and be wearing clean white boots with an LSU flag flying somewhere on the boat.
I thought the only shrimpers left were Vietnamese?

illegal to sell Louisiana Redfish commercially in this state.
Last I heard there are a couple of companies working with the Dept of Ag to develop commercial redfish farms in LA. (Not just hatcheries).

Seven of the 24 restaurant samples were shown to be misleading customers by advertising shrimp as gulf shrimp when it was actually imported
It's safe to say that if a restaurant has it written on their menus or posted on their walls "we MAY serve imported shrimp" they are likely serving imported shrimp. I am having serious doubts that placed like Corks and Poboy Express can actually net a profit going local vs. import, but those genetics tests are supposedly to be very conclusive.

I am positive that they are legit. I sell them most of their food.

Not even close. There are some, for sure. But take a ride DTB and see. I buy from T-Wes in Larose. Straight off the boat.
