 Cheap Substitutes Passed Off As Red Snapper The FDA is investigating Chicago-area restaurants claiming to be serving red snapper sushi, when in reality they’re serving cheap, imitation substitutes. Suspicions were raised and DNA test have confirmed that fake sushi was indeed being served in at least fourteen restaurants across the city. The practice of swapping out real red snapper for fake is likely at the distributor level, rather than by the restaurants themselves. In any case, this is considered to be fraud by the FDA and the investigation continues.  Seems that Chicago-area restaurants that serve red snapper aren't really serving red snapper at all, they're serving cheap substitutes! And it wasn't an isolated case. In fact, samples were bought from fourteen different restaurants in the city, and none of them were actually red snapper. They found this out by doing DNA tests. The FDA calls it fraud and they are investigating.
