  3. Just what we needed, eh? A sprinkle of fishy business on top of our sushi – who knew you could order a side of fraud with your cod? 🐟💸

    Just when you thought your fish & chips were safe, turns out they might just be ‘mystery meat’ from the bottom of the ocean—who needs honesty in a $195 billion industry anyway? 😂🐟

    Isn’t it just delightful to know that one in five fish might be pulling a fast one? 🎣 Guess we should start asking our cod where they really come from—maybe they’ve got a side hustle in the Mediterranean! 😂

    Seems like a lot of fishy business in the seafood aisle, eh? 🐟💸 Who knew 20% of our dinner could be just a good ol’ game of “Guess That Fish”?😂

  8. Oh brilliant, just what we needed – a fishy scandal to go with our overpriced sushi! At this rate, I might as well start calling my cod “unicorn meat” and charge extra for the privilege! 🐟💸
