If it does not have a package how do you know?

Do you trust a restaurant to tell you or for the waitress to even have a clue the type of and where the fish in your fish and chips came from?

Or at the fish market?

We have a state law here in Oregon so the fish market/dining place can't lie.

We live in a fishing port and tourist/people assume the fish is non farmed fresh and local or even USA/Canadian.

My local grocer rarely gets USA prawns and he keeps them stowed in the back for those of us that buy them....they cost twice the price of Asian farmed.

To get local f/v or near local non farmed fish you have to know where to go....most tourist don't know the places and the price is hefty.

Had some fresh Sturgeon the other day yum....

80% of fish sold in the USA is farmed or fresh from Asian countries.

Lately one of our fish markets has been carrying frog legs...from China...hmmmmm we wondered what kind of habitat those where raised in.

Being a fishing port us locals are big supporters of buying fresh local even at the high prices.

**what kind of habitat those where raised in**

a nocturnal soil kind of habitat I’m thinking...

I'll have to admit that regulating stuff that goes into your mouth seems like proper use of government to me. I'm also willing to pay twice as much for fresh caught, and a little extra maybe for honesty enforcement.
