Before purchasing you should ask to know the name of the taxonomy for
the fish that you are buying or ask to see the case or box the fish
was shipped in so you can read it.
Welcome to the twenty-first century where you have to know the

I could have posted this on some consumer group but I don’t think much

Women shouldn't eat fish, because, um, it makes them smell fishy.
