Surely not all areas of the Gulf coast were affected the same by the infamous spill. What’s bothersome is the lack of transparency about how seafood is screened. Last I heard, they were counting on humans to literally smell out the tainted parts of the catch. While that might detect grossly contaminated fish, it doesn’t raise great confidence about smaller degrees of contamination. If the official fish smeller is getting a cold, he or she could let some bad stuff by. Why not, at least, use dogs?
