I love eating fish but I refuse to buy fillets because of all the fraudulent activity. At least when I buy fish whole I know what I’m getting (on a species to species level at least. Farmed/Wild/Specific region is trickier to spot)
Red Snappers and Nile Perches are very different looking fish, but you’d have to buy them whole.
