Not surprised in the least, GySgt Melissa Gravila. I've also heard that shark meat is frequently sold as scallops.

GySgt Melissa Gravila Ya fortunately I'm allergic to scallops so no issue for me either.

One kind of fish substituted for another is a common tv investigative report here in Florida. If you're going to order high priced fish in a restaurant you better know fish well.

Red Snapper is hard to verify, but for lobster, I usually make sure it's a dish that includes a claw and a tail. Very hard to fake that. Bits and pieces however is easy to fake. I've had both the standard Wagyu and Kobe (went to Japan for that one). Not much a difference unless you're a connoisseur, however the price difference between Kobe and Wagyu are insane.

No doubt, even as a chef, it's hard for me to tell kobe sometimes! Plus I know about food cost, so I know how chefs will try to short cut to save a buck, so I don't order kobe beef at all.
