Try doing this when your in a local New England restaurant - if they have striped bass on the menu tell them you'd like to order it but you wan't to know the tag number of the fish. Not sure about Mass but in Rhody they can't buy bass unless its tagged. Watch them scramble.

I am sure plenty of guys supplement their income through selling striper's to restaurants illegally, too many people have the philosophy that it's only illegal if they get caught. The mighty dollar makes people do some pretty crappy things to others.
I haven't bought fish for years at a restaurant or market, I do buy lobsters and shellfish but that is different.
