Through a dramatic scenario involving a severe allergic reaction, it reveals how restaurants often substitute expensive fish with cheaper, sometimes toxic alternatives, and explains the complex supply chain that allows this deception to persist.
Suck on it, stupid rich people.
How much longer for those lobster puffs?
Shut up. It's almost ready.
Aren't we gonna get arrested for this?
Relax, they always bite.
Take this.
Here, your lobster puffs.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, all good.
Enjoy your meal.
Thank you.
He's kind of weird.
He's probably never had such an attractive customer before.
It's delicious.
And it's about to get even better.
I keep remembering the day we met and I knew then that you are
the only person I want to be with till we die.
Scarlett?
Scarlett!
Somebody call an ambulance!
What are you doing?
I'm saving your beautiful lady.
Don't worry, this is just an allergic reaction.
Good, good.
Lift her up.
An allergic reaction to lobster.
She loves lobsters.
Are you sure these puffs have lobster in them?
Let me show you.
A red snapper soup.
Isn't it delicious?
Okay, now tell me.
Do you believe that a fish that is nearly extinct is served in restaurants?
Well, if it's on the menu, then probably yes.
No.
In the USA, 84% of the cases restaurants serve cheap sea bass
or something as ordinary as tilapia instead of red snapper.
Ah, this venerable man is convinced that he's eating tuna tartare, but...
But what?
54% of restaurants around the world serve escolar instead of tuna.
Now, escolar is forbidden in Japan and Italy.
They're considered toxic because of the monoglycerides,
indigestible oils found in its meat.
But in reality, this fish can cause severe diarrhea.
You better run.
It wasn't those killing puffs then.
So, last year's study in the USA shows that 35% of lobster dishes
didn't even have lobster in them.
That's right.
They were replaced with cheese, langoustine, and whiting.
Hmm, whiting.
Scarlet is allergic to whiting.
Oh my God.
That's it.
I'm only eating fish steaks from now on, like salmon or something.
I don't know.
Oh, dear God.
Come on, they surely can fake salmon.
You're one naive person.
Yes, they can.
Come on, I'll show you.
Does this look familiar?
Redfish steak.
Exactly.
And why do you think it's red?
I know this one because it fits on Creole.
Yes, wild salmon does.
But the salmon that we usually eat is farmed and it doesn't eat Creole.
It eats chicken fat pellets, soybeans, and most importantly, dyes.
Without which it would look like this.
You know, dye is not the worst thing in the world.
I'm fine with it as long as the fish is the same.
The same?
Look at the way it's been processed and farmed.
Latest research shows that this fish can cause diabetes
and also is considered to be the most toxic fish in the world.
From now on, I'm ordering only wild salmon.
This restaurant has never had and will never have wild salmon.
Why is that?
Well, you see, suppliers and stores deceive the restaurants
and sell them farmed salmon under the guise of wild salmon.
How come?
Restaurants must check what they buy, right?
Yeah, that's impossible.
You cannot distinguish a salmon by eye.
A DNA test will help.
Which I assume is rarely done.
Exactly.
But the deception goes far past just salmon.
Right this way.
Read this.
Analysis of seafood samples from restaurants found that 36% were mislabeled.
I don't get it.
Were they completely different fish?
Yes, and a much cheaper one.
So, if I buy raw fish from the store,
there's still a chance I'll get completely different seafood.
Well, according to Oceana research, one out of three is fake.
Escolar.
Follow me.
How is that even possible?
85% of fish in the U.S. is imported
and their fish food supply is very complex and untransparent.
Let's say pollock was caught in the Barrack Sea and sent to China for processing.
And after that, it went right to the United States,
where intermediaries sold it to a supplier
who will send it to stores or restaurants
where the chefs cook the dish for the customers.
As you can see, one fraud at each stage.
And eventually, your dish ends up being a completely different product.
But in the case of your fiancé, though, the one to blame is the chef.
Because he cooked a cheap fish for a high price.
How can I tell whether I got the seafood I ordered or something totally fake?
Let me show you.
There are three major recommendations.
If you have dows in the restaurant
that order seafood without the breading and the sauce,
all this can hide the beautiful taste of the fish.
Secondly, you can ask the restaurant staff to show you seafood labeling.
Always look for fish labeled by controlling organizations
such as the Marine Stewardship Council and Best Aquaculture Practices.
And the most important one, choose the place wisely.
If it's a local restaurant with surprisingly low prices,
always remember a luxurious and rare product is never cheap
because nobody will sell anything at a loss.
I almost lost Scarlett because of this awful fraud.
I will do anything to make this...
Don't worry about anything.
I took care of it already.
I just handled the evidence to the authorities
and those to blame will soon get what they deserve.
But you, my friend, you have something more important to do.
Why did you stop?
How long?
For the rest of your life?
I will.
Can we eat somewhere else?
I don't like this place anymore.
Tonight I'm up for anything you want.
Thank you.
And I promise, next time before I choose a place to eat,
I will think twice.
