I know a few restaurant owners as well and they tell me otherwise which is why I'm defending them. Not only do the logistics make something like this difficult, the math doesn't add up.
Using your example, let's say they swap out my 10 pounder for a 6.5 pounder... after gutting it, you're left with maybe 4.5 pounds... the cooking process pulls moisture out so the meat shrinks... what ends up on the table is maybe 3.5 pounds. Does that sound like enough to feed a table of 6ish people?
If i go out with my family of 4, we typically get a 5 pounder as it's enough to feed us all. So your informant says I'll get scammed minimum 3 pounds, I should've got a 2 pounder which I don't even think could be legally caught.
Not saying it doesn't happen but if this was as big a scam as people make it out to be, it'd be all over the news in a hurry.
