Inside the Secret World of Fake Seafood

According to the ocean-conservation nonprofit Oceana, seafood may be one of the most commonly fraudulent foods we come in contact with. Your red snapper could actually be a tilapia fillet. That wild-caught salmon? It could be farm-raised. Crab, lobster, and scallops have also been victims of fraudulent swaps — some of the substitutions could harm human health. But there are also entire criminal rings smuggling seafood across the world.
