Biloxi Mississippi Seafood Scam | Quality Poultry & Seafood Busted
Quality Poultry & Seafood accused of conspiring with Mary Mahoney’s in scheme misbranding foreign fish as Gulf seafood. Quality Poultry and Seafood Inc., the largest seafood wholesaler on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, has agreed to pay the United States $1 million in forfeitures and a criminal fine of $150,000.
Biloxi’s Quality Poultry & Seafood pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to a felony charge of conspiring with Mary Mahoney’s Old French House restaurant and individuals at both businesses to mislabel cheaper foreign fish as fresh Gulf seafood. The well-known company’s plea came through Clell Rosetti, an owner and corporate representative. The charges unveil Quality as the unnamed co-conspirator in an explosive case that has already seen famed Mary Mahoney’s and one of its co-owners plead guilty to conspiracy charges over mislabeled seafood bought from Quality. The company could also spend up to five years on probation, according to court records.
Rosetti and Gunkel each face maximum sentences of up to one year in prison and fines of up to $1,000. Rosetti and Gunkel continued to misbrand seafood even after Food and Drug Administration agents raided Quality in September 2018, charging documents say.
