Fish can range in price from $7 per pound for tilapia to nearly $30 a pound for Swordfish, but how confident can consumers be they’re getting the real deal?
According to a Get Garcia hidden camera investigation, the answer is not very.
The Get Garcia team bought 27 fish samples from Ralphs in West Los Angeles, Sprouts in Burbank and Toluca Lake, Pavilions in West Hollywood, Gelsons in Valley Village, San Pedro Fish Market and Sushi Yuzu in Burbank.
The samples were sent to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco for DNA testing. Five of the 27 samples tested were not what they were purported to be.
