Okay, so I went out to eat the other night in Daphne; the waitress said the special was redfish. This isn't the first time, I've heard this a lot recently. I thought redfish couldn't be sold commercially. Am I wrong?

I believe it is actually farm raised.
I work at The Fish House in Pensacola and we serve fresh redfish. I don't know if it is farm raised or wild caught though.
Redfish and Specs are still commericially fished MS: http://www.dmr.ms.gov/commercial-fis...l-catch-limits
Specs still are in LA: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/sites/d...al_fishing.pdf
Catfish, tilapia and occasionally tuna are the ONLY finfish I order in restaurants.
ASK to see the 'paper trail' where it came from. it is your right as a seafood consumer! :headbang:

You are correct in your belief in that there are farm raised reds. It could be a combination of farm raised and fish from states that still allow commercial harvest.
