About this episode

We bring you the shattering conclusion to our investigation into whether a New York City sushi restaurant is swapping their tuna rolls for “the ex-lax fish.” The DNA test is in.

Can we trust anyone? Are our fish safe to eat? What’s the email address where you submit for the Pulitzers? We have answers.

Plus a bonus this week — the 5-second rule is put to a laboratory test.
