Tampa/St Pete are where the biggest fraudsters operate, we have got so many tourists who have no concept of what good seafood is, they just come and eat it like people who go to disney expecting more than they ever get for their money.

We also had a couple big fake grouper and fake snapper scams that were rampant in Pinellas and Hillsborough County over the last couple decades, a scallop fisaco where dozens of restaurants were selling punched out stingray meat to tourists who didnt know any better.
Shrimp is an easy seafood to fake since it usually is presented as fried popcorn shrimp or just rando pieces by lower end restaurants.
Hopefully whoever is scamming people gets their comeuppance through dna testing anywhere they are doing it.
The shrimp on Hilton Head we bought direct from the shrimpers has the best all around flavor and texture imho.
Thanks for the information even though it is very disturbing. We need to know and talk more about it. People have no idea what goes on and please continue to keep all of us informed. Much appreciated!

Sure thing, it was a big deal in Pinellas at all the restaurants, human nature means itll happen again and again elsewhere.
