Not so much a matter of mislabeling, but earlier this week I came upon a fish called "swai" in a buffet at a Todd English reataurant. Not knowing what it was, I refrained from eating it. Upon returning home, I googled "swai" and learned that it was a Southeast Asian type of catfish. While some may be farm raised in the western hemisphere, I suspect most is imported from the East. Frankly, I have no qualms about passing up the swai, as it was probably harvested from somewhere in the Mekong Delta, where water quality is suspect, to say the least.
