Globe exposes fish mislabeling
http://www.boston.com/business/specials/fish_testing/fish_testing_results/?cbResetParam=1%2F&p1=News_links
Three Davis Square restaurants (or affiliates) implicated.
The Burren shows up for selling farmed salmon as "Wild Atlantic" salmon.
Snappy Sushi shows up as passing off European Sea Bass as "Striped Bass."
The Taipei Tokyo restaurant in Woburn (which shares a website with the one in Davis Square) got nabbed for selling escolar as "white tuna," which, along with ripping you off, can be dangerous if it turns out you really like it.
Enjoy your lunch.
