French fishmongers have been left furious after they were
fined for not labeling their catch using Latin names (fine up to Euro 1500, to
be exact)
The official EU rules state that precise Latin names for
each fish must be placed on the label along with the price. The rule was out in
place to prevent fish sellers purposefully misleading customers by selling them
the wrong fish.
Those hit hardest are the fish seller in Marseilles. The local
major and now the French president says it’s too ridiculous and for the fish
sellers NOT to pay the fines.
One local fish seller said ‘no client of mine has ever
asked me for a fish using the Latin name’
