- moistly 4y agoAnd lord knows no restaurant or roadside fishmonger would ever pass off those fake scallops as the real thing!! No sirree! Note here that the FDA lists skate->scallop substitution. https://www.fda.gov/food/seafood-guidance-documents-regulatory-information/seafood-species-substitution-and-economic-fraud https://www.fda.gov/food/seafood-guidance-documents-regulato... Fraud accounts for up to 40% of seafood sales. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/15/revealed-seafood-happening-on-a-vast-global-scale https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/15/revealed... But do go on believing that Alibaba’s fake food isn’t passed off as the real thing.
