Fish Pseudonyms
When you go to your local fish monger, you should be advised that not all is what it seems. In fact, some varieties behind that counter have actually gone through official name changes. They have modified their identities… it’s true, I promise.
The top three culprits are:
Dolphinfish (aka. Mahi-Mahi): Renamed by restaurateurs who were tired of trying to convince patrons that they were not eating Flipper.
Patagonian Toothfish (aka. Chilean Sea Bass): Endangered species who adopted his trade name in order to increase sales in the market place. Now, he can't keep up with the demands of celebrity.
Goosefish (aka. Monkfish): Decided he didn’t like living between two families of the animal kingdom so officially became a dedicated pescatarian…
