Chinese restaurant

[fishinfool]

I went with my Son today for some Dim Sum at a well known restaurant in Scarborough and while I was sitting there my wife said "isn't that a Bass in that aquarium". Sure enough there were three Largemouth Bass in the tank with all the other white and putrid looking fish.

I think this topic has been on here before but can't seem to find it.

Is it not illegal to have Sportfish in a tank like this?

Does someone in the city sell them these fish and do they have special licenses to do so?

Just curious as to whether this practice is legal or not.

Those are farm raised bass (aka green bass), no different then farm raised live rainbow trout you see at Loblaws and other supermarkets.

yup...just farm raised green bass and tilapia you see in all the tanks at restaurants.
