    I wonder how the actual results would relate to a similar test of poultry, or red meat.
    Unfortunately, my own experiences looking and smelling fresh fish across the country, would lead me to expect that the fish would fare the worst.

      Direct quote from the GMA article: "In fact, most of the fish did pass the
      test."

      As in most sensationalistic media reports, only the provacative makes news.
      Interesting that the article failed to give the percentage of product that
      passed the arbitrary cutoff! My guess is that the results showed that the
      industry does a pretty good job overall. They just pointed out the few obvious
      failures. Too bad the negative carries more weight than the positive.
