"Therion International, an animal DNA testing service in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., determined that five of the restaurant samples were fakes, including an Asian catfish called basa, tilapia, European hake and a fish that could not be positively identified except that it did not fall into a grouper genus.
A sixth sample could not be identified by DNA because the sample was too thin and too cooked, but the restaurant owner identified it as Alaskan pollack."
