There goes my rape case.
Serious foodie is serious.
And that delicious Grouper sandwich you chomped into? Fakety fake too. Most of the fish in South Florida is fake.
Years ago, it used to be common for restaurants to serve beef or pork cutlets as veal cutlets.

There was that one time where I ordered the "beef soup" in Sav Lamar in Jamaica. That beef seemed to have a whole lot of goat bones in it with an extreme shot of kitchen bouquet. This shit happens all over the world. You can't trust the meat/fish anywhere. It's endemic.

Not true with me. When I offer a woman my meat, it's 100% genuine grade A eddy!

I'm shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU.
What a screeching little douchebag.
Why do I have to wait to hear about Waygu beef?
I heard that is even better than Kobe beef according to restaurants.

Most people can't tell the difference between one flaky white salt-water fish and another.
A restaurant I worked at routinely served snapper as grouper, because it was cheaper.

Just wait until he learns that most fast food places that tout "angus" burgers don't actually meet the minimum requirements to be labeled "certified angus beef"!!!!!!
Hate to tell the guy but the terms "American Kobe" and "Kobe-like" have been used by butchers for years, it usually refers to the treatment and preparation. Does this guy really believe that most people think when they're eating a kobe slider that the beef came from Japan? Also, American kobe style beef is deliberately different in nature because americans typically eat their beef in steak, roast or hamburger form, none of which would work with "real" kobe, in large part due to the extremely high fat content. This guy just wants to be that guy at. The party who not only needs to correct you about eating a delicious kobe burger for lunch, but needs to add that he's had GENUINE kobe beef when he was in JAPAN (oooooohhhhh!!!!!!)

Socialism? That has nothing to do with anything.
That was a restaurant in the US. The owner was a cheap capitalist (not to mention, an idiot) who knew he could get away with it.

You want good steak?
Go to any small town bar in any state that raises corn. It will be good and cheap.
Grass feed beef usually is not all that good (I'm talking to you, South Dakota cow!).

If you can't tell the flesh of a grouper and the flesh of a snapper, I feel bad for you son.
You can't trust a restaurant I guess. I'll stick with my local grass fed beef cooked on my local charcoal grill.

Got 99 problems but a fish ain't one.

There's a movement out there at the moment to perform genetic testing on fish to specifically catch the endemic forgery of certain species.
All in all, though, this is sort of an Emperor's New Clothes situation: a lot of people with more money than sense or expertise are paying through the nose and being, frankly, cheated, because they have no idea how to tell the 'real' thing from the fake thing.
Given that half the people in this country overcook the shit out of their fish and drown it in tartar sauce, that's really not surprising--and given a lot of people think they know more about this sort of thing than they do, it's not surprising that they're so inexpert at it.
Think about the rich winos--how many of them can honestly tell a 'good' bottle from a 'bad' one without consultation of the price list?

I've had some REALLY good cheap wine, and some REALLY bad expensive wine.
I like my meats and fish like I like your mothers, cheap.
If it tastes good I don't care what kind of fish it is.

I prepared some locally caught pickerel fillets ( like walleye ) the other night. Washed, dried, dipped in milk then coated in finely ground up corn flakes then fried in butter and olive oil. Served with a lemon wedge, it was sublime.

It is now illegal to import (or even hand carry for personal consumption) any Japanese beef.
wtf

It could be retaliatory, from when Japan banned all US beef due to mad cow or something like that.

Wagyu is a breed. Kobe is a place.
If you can't get a cow from Kobe, then get a cow like they have in Kobe.
But I suspect Americans don't respect the designation.
Don't worry -- grinding this beef is a waste. It's good they were cheated.

Different tastes I guess

Well, it's heavily marbled, and you really don't want all that fat rendering out because you'll be left with Swiss cheese beef. In shabu-shabu, you get paper thin slices that you can cook until the fat goes transparent. I'm not entirely certain how much it should be cooked. The older I get, the less I want my meat cooked. As for the "burgers", I'm just as glad people are getting duped. Most people seem to like their burgers at 15-20% fat and even that most foodies want to see fall through a grill into open flames. That pains me. Opt for a leaner cut of meat, rather than render it out and burn it.
