Ice Packs Hidden in Seafood to Add Weight
In the seafood department, many “fresh” pre-packed items come sitting on thick frozen pads. These aren’t just to keep the fish cold—they also add weight to the package. Since seafood is sold by weight, that ice means you’re paying for more than just the catch.
While it’s not technically illegal, it’s certainly sneaky. Unless the label states “net weight without ice,” you’re probably footing the bill for water weight. For a better deal, buy from the fish counter where you can see your purchase weighed right in front of you.
