Haven't eaten there in maybe 12-15 years, but I want my money back.

Not really, no complaints.

Saw this elsewhere earlier today.

Prior to Katrina, there was a Mary Mahoney's Cafe behind the main restaurant. Good food and good prices, unfortunately they didn't build it back.

All for what ??
Maybe a couple hundred thousand bucks more?
Maybe not even that.
Total GREED!

The true tragedy is all the underprivileged African, Indian, and South American fish lives that were lost as North American fish lived on

Mary Mahoney died in 1985, so she didn't witness what the current ownership did to her restaurant.

If he can make trash fish taste like that, they should be paying him a settlement.

What it shows is that most white fleshed fish tastes the same. It's the sauces or frying it up in breading or batter that provides the flavor.

Reminds me back when Catfish restaurants were serving Delta raised catfish. What they failed to tell you it was the Mekong Delta. I think the State of Miss put an end to that pretty fast.

Meh, they were doing the same thing a lot of their competition was. I'm all for people getting punished for that. But I wish they would have gone after all the restaurants doing it, not just Mahoneys. They could occasionally order food form restaurants and test the fish to see if it's right and penalize people over that. Not as flashy as getting to point to tons of fish being mislabeled at one restaurant, but it would be a lot easier and would be much more effective at discouraging the practice rather than just hammering the one restaurant that got caught.

This had been going on for 20 years, & others have been doing this much longer.

It's more than a "couple of hundred thousand bucks"

Millions

MM's was just the example made to stop it industry wide.
