That Red Snapper you picked up at the grocery store may not be a Red Snapper at all.
A new study found a 1/3of the seafood we buy is mislabeled.
That's according to the environmental advocacy group, Oceana.
The group collected more than 1,200 seafood samples from grocery stores, restaurants and sushi venues in 21 states with Pennsylvania being the worst, with 56 percent of the tested fish turning out to be something other than what the label or menu stated.
According to the study, the most commonly mislabeled fish was Snapper.
It mostly turned out to be Rockfish or Tilapia.
