Buyers beware, if you've bought a fish called Basa from the supermarket, it was probably catfish from the polluted Mekong Delta.
In the last year nearly 300,000kgs of frozen Vietnamese catfish was imported, much of it being sold at Countdown, Woolworths, and Foodtown.
At half the price of New Zealand fish, the Basa has been flying
out the door, but supermarket giant Progressive is being slammed
for failing to label where the fish is from, and for destroying the
livelihoods of local fishermen.
