Have you ever heard the claim that there's no such thing as a fish? Well, that just scratches the surface of how weird and confusing fishes are. From inconsistent naming practices to the nefarious world of fish fraud, Sabrina investigates what it means to be a fish and finds the very real problem behind fake fish.
Thank you to Virginia Schutte ( / vgwschutte ) for speaking to me about how weird fishes are.

Welcome to the joke under the fold! Here's a soFISHicated little pun for you.

    Part of the issue with asking someone at the grocery store if the fish told their is sustainably caught, is that they are usually paid minimum wage or close to it and they won't know most often. I know that when I worked at one, I had absolutely no clue where it all came from nor whether it was sustainably caught or not.

    That might still prove difficult, depending on circumstances. Have you seen Seaspiracy? It's been an eye opener regarding the food and more obviously the fish industry. Labels used in supermarkets such as the MSC or dolphin safe ones are basically lying. Not just those labels, almost all labeling and packaging tells a good story like sustainable, nature or named above 'dolphin safe' aren't regulated and therefore don't prove anything when it comes to what they're claiming. Hope this is understandable, Im guessing a bit late but posting this anyway, maybe someone finds it helpful.

    Not sure if this counts as Fish Fraud, but in Germany, companies use unscientific names for Fish in order for them to sound more expensive. For example the Alaska Pollock is called "Alaska Seelachs" (Alaska Lake Salmon) , which basically implies that it is a Salmon from a Lake in Alaska, which it clearly isn´t. Another example is calling the roe of the lumpfish "German Caviar" in order to imply that it is Sturgeon roe from Germany, which it cleraly isn't.

    As a complete seafood fiend, a fishing fanatic, and a fan of buying fresh cut and whole fresh fish and sea creatures, there's no way in the world you are going to sell me Cod and call it Haddock, try to call a grouper a trout, or try to pass off Salmon as Striped Bass. And don't even try to insult my intelligence by trying to tell me a warm water lobster is a cold water one or try to pass off Rock lobster meat with Maine lobster meat. I. Will. KNOW. I don't care if you cut up the fish or even take the scales off. I got my eye on you dishonest fish companies. >:C

    I used to be a seafood counter manager at one of the largest grocery chains in the US. Most of the cases of fish that came in would have the scientific names of the fish species on the labels, and the methods they were caught, so I could tell exactly what I as getting. I will say that a lot of the fish that goes into the seafood case where you have to ask someone to grab it for you is exactly the same as the frozen vacuum packed fillets you can grab out of the freezer, we just thaw them out and put them on ice. Unless the tag specifically says fresh, it probably says "previously frozen" on it, and that's the same stuff as what's out in the freezer. Some things that do get a bit "fishy" in terms of labeling is country of origin labels, since a lot of times the place the species was caught and processed are different. For example, we would have a lot of bags of "Alaskan Salmon" that were caught in the Bering sea, but processed in China before being shipped back to the US. Or all of the frozen Cod that says "product of China" on it is *most likely* a product of... Russia, but processed in China, so China gets its name on the label. Most of the time the only info that I could get about a particular fish was the scientific name and the country of origin, that's all that would really be on the box. However, sometimes we'd get in some cases of, say, Yellowfin Tuna steaks that would actually say the particular method of catch (hand line), and even the boat they came off of, so that was kind of neat.

    interesting idea that asking if fish is sustainably caught will result in honesty from these same people who are committing fraud...recently discovered that lots of the branded 'sustainable' fish in my locality has failed RSPCA guidelines at fish farms etc. but it takes a lot of lobbying and such for packaging to be changed...so I'm a bit stumped/disheartened on this one! Great to see you tackling the issue though, more people need to know about it! Any tips or resources that anyone has about sourcing affordable responsibly sourced fish (I'm in the UK) would be great :3

    Thank you for producing this well made video discussing a topic that has bothered me since my childhood. I grew up out on the water and helped my step dad operate is commercial boat and we would catch various types fish so i've learned what these fish were over time. Yet, when I am at the store they are almost always mislabeled. That actually makes me angry.

    great video I feel like I learned a lot :) I used to work in a sushi restaurant and learned that my employer was probably being duped by their fish suppliers... its unfortunate because they made great food but were naive about who they trusted to supply their restaurant. they would never question the labeling on some honestly sketchy product and pass off the end result as something that it was not to the customer which could be outright dangerous in the case of raw fish (needless to say I no longer work at this sushi place)

    One thing that can also be an issue with the texture is the fact that it's possible that the frozen fishes texture can also change when frozen. Especially if it ended up freezing defrosting so.e and refreezing over and over again. Which can happen in shipping packaging and even at the store you buy it at. I worked at a Walmart before. I've seen people let things start to defrost in isles before putting them in the freezer. Just cause they decided to pull out all the frozen stuff for all the freezers at once.

    7:30 For herbs, I'd call that chopped rather than minced. But your knife technique actually looks pretty good! You've got a good "claw" hold on that garlic--protect those fingertips, people! To cut herbs a little finer, (a) make sure your knife is real sharp and also honed, and (b), don't just bring the knife up and down. Anchor the point on the cutting board like you're doing, bring it down, then push it along the cutting board a little, *then* raise the blade up, pull back, and re-anchor the point. The motion is something like that thingy what connects the wheels on a train: down, along, up, along. And now I remember that this video is over a year old, so what am I even doing.
