NY Stores Found Including Ice In Weight Of Seafood

QUEENSBURY — A Queensbury grocery and department store was among six stores statewide found selling frozen seafood that illegally included the weight of ice in the price, according to the state Department of Agriculture and Markets.

The Super K-Mart at 308 Dix Ave. allegedly sold overpriced frozen shrimp supplied by a New Jersey seafood packer, said department spokeswoman Jessica Ziehm.

Ziehm said the stores, also located in Batavia, Canandaigua, Rochester, Queens and Hauppauge on Long Island, received warning letters. She said no stores in the immediate Capital Region were part of the state survey.
