Scousers catfished at the chippy?

Available for over a year

You may have heard stories about catfishing online – when people pretend to be someone they’re not…but what about at your local fish and chip shop? BBC Radio Merseyside has been investigating claims that some takeaways may be passing off catfish as cod, as costs rise and supplies tighten. DNA testing is really the only way to tell the difference between species, once the fish has been battered and fried. So are you being catfished at your local chippy?
