Think you're eating red snapper? According to a new report, it actually might be a fish of a different color entirely.

 

 

 

The non-profit advocacy group Oceana says nearly one-in-three fish we eat is mislabeled. "Early Show" Special Contributor Katie Lee explained it's called "fish fraud." That means when you go to your favorite restaurant, grocery store or seafood market, your fish might be something else altogether.
