They did this in Florida a while back and found out many of the restaurants selling "grouper" sandwiches were using different fish altogether. Just don't trust restaurants when it comes to seafood.

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.
