All sorts of fish are sold as snapper that aren't the real thing, especially rockfish.  If it is real snapper, they are drastically over-fished and also high in mercury, FYI.

  THAT looks like a good buffet!

I checked out Carmen Anthony's in Avon yesterday.  It was delicious, no doubt, but only a bit less expensive as that buffet looks, but with less food.  I might have to drive to RI sometime soon...

That's a trick restaurants pull on tourists on the west coast; I'm not sure about the east coast.  In the west they call it "pacific snapper."  Yet rockfish can taste fantastic if you prepare it well.

Look here for market names of rockfish.

Marketing one fish as another is not uncommon in the seafood business, as most people don't know or can't tell the difference.  Some public interest researchers have done genetic tests on seafood offered at various restaurants, and the % of restaurants that dupe their customers is disturbing.
