Food question of the day....

And it's probably somewhat fitting as this is the Alaska (Airlines)Forum.

Bought some Wild Alaska Cod today that looked pretty good. Pricey but not as pricey as Halibut. And I was glad it was wild as there's nothing worse than tame Cod.

But in looking at the package a bit closer, it said:

Wild Alaska Cod

Product of China



Now I ask you:

Is this a wild Alaska Cod that somehow wandered into Chinese territorial waters and was taken prisoner??

And how is it exactly that they determine it's from Alaska?

Or perhaps this is a marketing ploy by those inscrutable Chinese who felt that Wild Alaska Cod sounds better and would sell better in the US than Wild Chinese Cod??

The whole thing sounds a bit fishy to me.
