Canadian seafood wholesaler Seven Seas Fish Company & it’s owner John Heras pleaded guilty to illegally importing over 9,000 lbs. of rotten/spoiled fish into the US to Washington state and other areas.
They bought the fish from a seafood company in Mexico and then tried to import it into the US. FDA safety officers found that 1/3 of their samples were over 20% spoiled, so they were refused entry into the US.
Somehow, they found a way to ship it into the US anyway. Looks like they claimed they were going to ship it back to Canada through the US, but then ended up distributing it in the US anyway.
