Somebody needs to learn about a binary search.

Funny you mention arse, because the chef is constantly scratching theirs.
This is a strange thing to do, tell people you have a diarrhea fetish.

Search Engine (podcast) had a 2 part episode on this that was interesting. They even did a DNA test on some samples of fish when trying to narrow down what it could be.
Pretty much every study I've seen where they DNA test fish shows that the fish was not even the type of fish it was labeled as.
Good thing about tinned sardines is you get enough of the each fish to see it's the correct fish
