SUMMARY: Federal authorities have unveiled a conspiracy involving Quality Poultry and Seafood and a co-owner of Mary Mahoney’s restaurant, allegedly misbranding imported fish as fresh, locally caught varieties. The unsealed documents reveal that frozen foreign fish were sold as premium options, such as red snapper. Quality managers Todd Rosetti and Jim Gunkle have agreed to plead guilty to one count each of misbranding seafood. Earlier this year, the co-owner of Mary Mahoney’s also pleaded guilty and is scheduled for sentencing in November. This case highlights significant fraud affecting coast consumers in the seafood market.

Quality faces one felony charge of conspiring to misbrand seafood and wire fraud. The company intends to plead guilty.
