WKRG-TV5- Back in February, we tested 10 samples from Gulf Coast restaurants and markets. Only one D-N-A tested as real grouper. Read on to see what we reel in this time!When Wintzell's Oyster House in Mobile put up signs like "Got Grouper. We do" and "G the Grouper Get it here," it was an open invitation to test. Bob Omainsky says he figured we would test his fish eventually. "I thought you would have tested us the first go round when you did your original sampling." So, we bought an entr-e and sent it to the lab. It turns out, Wintzell's grouper did D-N-A test as the real deal. Omainsky says they trust their supplier. "It's a reflection of our character. It's a reflection of who we are as a restaurant."
News 5 also found real D-N-A tested grouper at Boudreaux's Seafood Market in Gulf Shores. Randy Boudreaux was thrilled we picked his place! "I knew I wasn't the bad guy this time. That's why, when you did it the last time I was like I wish she would have came in here." He goes on to say that it might cost less to substitute but it's not worth it to him. "To save a little money, I could have bought a fish 4 or 5 dollars cheaper per pound and fooled 95 percent of the people."
