## Resource

New research reveals half the shrimp dishes in Outer Banks restaurants are fake—serving imported or farm-raised shrimp while billing it as premium American wild-caught. Scientists used genetic testing on over 20 restaurants, showing a slight improvement from last December’s 36% authenticity rate. The real culprit? Profit—cheaper imports are being passed off as premium, with some claiming supply issues (though it’s just a matter of effort). In contrast, Louisiana’s strict labeling laws keep fraud down to 25%. Advocates are pushing for nationwide transparency to protect both fishermen and diners who crave honest seafood.
