Restaurants are serving cheaper fish than what's on the menu

Lotta shops around here have been doing the catfish/swai switch for years. We just quit buying it at restaurants and fry our own.
I had Swai fish a couple of times is it bad health-wise?
wow
Duhhh,their going to serv whatever they catch,dip,batter and fry and most won't be able to tell the difference unless it's like catfish or some shit.
That's why my mother doesn't be eating fish dinners cause she doesn't like catfish,salmon,tilapia and none of the rest of that shit.
"I don't like fish with the bones..." you lazy eater

The potential problems with Swai are explained in the video.
Wait there's a fish worse than catfish?
This has been happening for a long time, it's a restaurant dirty secret. Not only that but fisherman have become good at tricking restaurateurs, so it's not surprising when a smaller establishment doesn't even know they're swindling people. They just figured they got a good deal when it's really some farm raised bullshit or some close relative. But many are just scummy thieves, this shit even happens at grocery stores and markets.
If they were substituting that Swai for Grouper and it passed through.... no way it passed for catfish.... grouper flesh is different.... waaaay different from catfish... and I had some grouper about a month ago..... too much of a fishy taste for me

You're a fag that's worse than all other fags.... the ironyWait there's a fish worse than catfish?

Not really. There's a story over at VOX right now about Tyson chicken. Lying isn't new and is not really illegal.
Wouldn't that be theft though?
I dont normally get fish when I go out except for the occasional fried whiting and salmon but for intances like this, Im glad we have a supermarket where they clean and cut up the fish any way you like. At least you know what you're geting.

Said it's an Asian fish from the Mekong Delta and that's not the cleanest water. I've had Swai too and I liked it when I had it.
Swai fish becomes hard like plastic if you don't eat it as soon as it is cooked. If you let it cool off... you're fucked. There's no way to save it. PLASTIC.
A lot of these restaurants shop at Bulk stores like Costco/Sam’s Club if they find that inventory is unexpectedly low.
Some restaurants will send a employee out the back door and pick some stuff up at the local Walmart Supercenter.
They been doing shit like this for decades.

if a knicca pay for catfish...you don't give it to em...you stealing...and can be killed on the spot...or assaulted...brah
I'm a fish eater so I can immediately tell. Here's how. Tear or cut the catfish/fillet if you think you've been duped. Catfish always flakes away, Swai does not. The meat and flesh are solid, and not flaky at all. The Atlanta Fish Market sold me a plate of Swai for $25 fucking dollars. I was mad as fuck and told that lady this isn't catfish, it's Swai. She got mad at me and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I asked her where she grew up. She said Atlanta ( Georgia) why? Because I grew up in the Ms. Delta catching catfish from the river. This was before the Catfish farms in Itta Bena. That's why. Telling me I don't know catfish from Swai is like saying pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie are the same and it's not. Bitch.
Try that shit in the crooked I and you going to get your ass whupped!
Cutting corners been industry standard since forever.. that liquor you buy at the bar 90 percent of the time ain’t exactly what you ordered. Unless you order a bottle and it’s sealed 9 times out of 10 it’s some cheap shit that nigs look down upon if they in a liq store but loving it when the restaurant/bar /lounge / club serve it to you and overcharge it and claim it’s something else.. like them shots of “patron” really montezuma, that henny colada is really Salignac, them henny wings probably courvoisier, etc.. corner cutting since forever
I guess if its fried how will you tell the difference?
But if the fish is baked you can't really slick someone that easily.
I can tell the difference between whiting and cod, catfish and swai. If it’s salmon it will be kinda hard to fake. I dont know any other trout that comes close to looking and tasting like salmon. Cod you could maybe fool someone with a Pollock cuz theyre almost the same.
I think how its prepared makes a difference. Anything fried takes away any unique identifiers. They deep frying the shit outta that fish and selling you some bullshit

Ya also don’t understand these restaurants cater to white people. They don’t know how to cook and are very gullible consumers. You can overcharge and serve them bullshit and they would easily fall for the manipulation. Some of these industries were meant for a certain demographic to completely swindle that consumer base money.. some of these establishment weren’t meant for us so leave it for the gullible cac
Steelehead Trout and Salmon are almost indistinguishable. But if you subbing those two you really are a dumbass because they cost almost the same price now.
Ok thanks, Ive never had Steelhead before, but that’s where I was going to go next because some of these subs are going to be close in price so it wouldnt be much benefit.
yea they be getting over to tryin to sell farm raised salmon as wildcaught,
I heard they even add coloring because farm raised salmon doesnt have that distinct
pink flesh that real wild caught salmon has, I remember the fish market was selling
salmon, the fuckin flesh wasnt even pink. dude tried to tell me all salmon isnt pink,
I was like maybe the salmon YOU eat aint pink... not the shit I eat..
Had the nerve to be sellin that fake shit for 15 dollars a pound and this was back in 2007
when you could still get wild caught salmon for ten a poiund. Now I seen wildcaught
go far as much as eighty dollars a pound.. I was like.. Id just fly out to alaska and catch my own
before I pay that much..
but chea salmon is always pink I dont give a fuck what they say...
but them butcher shops be fuckin around even worse...
I hear they be making frankenstein steaks, they be taking old meat
gluing that shit together and dyeing that shit to make it look fresh...and selling it as such...
there are always going to be fuckboys that will do anything to profit, to hell with your preference
or taste, my profit is the only thing that matters is the motto they live by.... they should be smacked up
and force fed the bullshit they try to give to trusting consumers..

I guess to most people if you don't eat it alot. We grew up catching/eating catfish, so we could tell something was off. Its hard to explain, but its just..... different.
