A restaurant in Shanghai was, fined 200,000 yuan for posing as lobster with balsa fish. The restaurant made illegal profits by using dishes made from frozen Basa fish fillets, but wrote Southern Ocean Curry Lung Li fish on the menu. Apart from being fined, the catering company has also deceived consumers and is also liable. Consumers who paid to have lobster but ended up with balsa fish are being defrauded.

Nowadays people's living standard is relatively high, for food safety is also very important, want to use money to buy real products, do not want to be deceived. And this restaurant is on top of it, want to get benefits from it, it is really very hateful, and it is right to be punished. It is possible that the restaurant did some other bad things, such as substandard hygiene, but it just wasn't found out. The restaurant also cheated consumers, which may involve fraud, but it was not officially notified, so consumers have no way to protect their rights. And there's no way to verify that what the consumer is eating is balsa, not lobster, when he or she has already eaten the fish in his or her stomach.

After the fine, the Market Supervision Administration has ordered the restaurant to stop the illegal behavior and not to do such things anymore. As for the illegal proceeds, the Supervisory Administration did not confiscate them, and there may be no way to calculate how much of the illegal gains were actually involved. Under the netizen's popularization, some people understand that the restaurant is also suspected of violating the anti-unfair competition law, because the price of the dragon fish it sells is a little lower than that of other restaurants, which is a kind of unfair competition, and may make consumers come to this restaurant only to eat, not to go to other restaurants to eat dragon fish.

The restaurant industry earns a lot of money, and it should ensure the quality and hygiene of the food, so that consumers can rest assured that they will want to dine here, rather than eat once and then not come back. I hope this restaurant can correct their business attitude on this, do not make similar mistakes.
