80% of seafood eaten by Americans is imported (from where?)

Here's a really disturbing article from the NY Times regarding the substandard quality of fish being imported into the U.S. from China. What really gets me is the prevalence of Chinese goods in processed foods. Whose to protect us from imported fish, raised in filthy water and pumped with chemicals, when we have a seafood salad sandwich at lunch? What about fruit juices made primarily with apple juice, that mostly comes from China, too? Labels should list country of origin for each ingredient so that consumers can choose which regulatory environment they want to ingest.
