That story broke down here in Florida 3~4 months ago. I don't recall
exactly but of the establishments sampled you had about a 50~50 chance of
getting the real McCoy.

Kinda like the practice of punching out scallops from stingray wings.

This story said 17 of 24 samples were not actually grouper. The labs were
unable to identify some of them via their DNA. :-) Alien fish. Sort of like
Tom from CT.

A long time practice. Less desirable species are often given a more
appetizing name, but it seems unusual to use the name that
specifically applies to another species of fish.

Dogfish sharks are often sold as "rock salmon" or "flake", (commonly
used for fish and chips in Britain). Obviously a dogfish shark is not
any member of the salmon family.

Sablefish are often marketed as "black cod," (but a sablefish is not a
member of the cod family).
