SUMMARY: Mary Mahoney’s Old French House and its co-owner Anthony Satovi pled guilty to conspiracy to misbrand fish and wire fraud. Between December 2013 and November 2019, the restaurant fraudulently sold over 29 tons of imported fish as premium local seafood. The scheme, involving mislabeling fish like snapper and grouper, lasted until federal inspections in 2019. Satovi admitted to mislabeling around 177,000 pounds of fish from 2018 to 2019. The company fixed the issue five years ago, but faces up to five years probation and a $500,000 fine, while Satovi faces up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Sentencing is set for September 12, 2024.

The documents said between 2018 and 2019, Cvitanovich mislabeled 17,190 pounds of a variety of fish.
