The NYTimes once bought samples of fish sold as ‘wild’ and sent them to a DNA lab. About 2/3 were from farms.
Well, the flounder I tried sure tastes good. Would be interested in genetic test results. This flounder is from a big line of fish from the same company so I don’t know if they would risk legal action from false advertising.
“Substitution” is rampant in much of the seafood industry....especially on the east coast.
The weird thing is that I checked the reviews of this Walmart flounder and most hate it. Either my palate is wildly different from others or my wife is just a great cook. She is at her culinary best when cooking fish.

That’s good, because you should only eat wild, bottom-feeding fish once per week, so if PJ eats flounder 3 times per week, and 2/3 are from farms...
Probably used it to test the tensile strength and resistance to leaks of the newspaper when used for its primary purpose.
Walmart has a loooooong memory - wouldn't want to be one who scammed them with 'farm raised' when they're selling as wild... That would be a big 'no no'..
