70% of seafood consumed in the US is eaten at restaurants. The products served at restaurants are generally lower quality than those sold in retail outlets and the sushi is especially appalling. Unless visiting a top-class sushi restaurant (where the prices are, of course, high), you can usually expect to be served the worst of the worst.<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t much a consumer can do about this, but at the very least you can educate yourself on types of fish that are often substituted. If you were to order White Tuna or Red Snapper, you would very likely be served something else. Any shrimp ordered was probably farmed.<\/p>\n
There are no laws regulating \u201cFresh\u201d or \u201cOrganic\u201d labels so don\u2019t be fooled by these. In the same way, be suspicious when you see word combinations like \u201cGreat Sushi\u201d or \u201cGreat Sashimi.\u201d There is no such thing as \u201cGreat\u201d in this sense. *FDA\u30fb\u30fb\u30fbFood and Drug Administration<\/p>\n Related contents: Things You Should Never Order From A Sushi Restaurant<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Alabama Legislature passes seafood labeling bill<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n 7 of the most faked seafoods in the world<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
