Here are the findings from Oceana (a non profit ocean protection group) after they took samples of 1,215 fish in the USA.

• 59% of the fish labeled “tuna” sold at restaurants and grocery stores in the US is not tuna.
• In Chicago, Austin, New York, and Washington DC, every single sushi restaurant sampled sold mislabeled tuna.
• 84% of fish samples labeled “white tuna” were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm…..
