A Staten Island seaport received nearly 22 tons of frozen tilapia — valued at $49,000 — but the freshwater fish got away before the importers could pick them up, a new lawsuit alleges. According to the Staten Island Advance, Great American Seafood Imports LLC says it was wronged by the New York Container Terminal, where 43,500 pounds of seafood somehow went missing in 2008. The massive shipment of frozen fish arrived from China on Dec. 12, 2008. But when Great American Seafood tried to pick up the delivery on Dec. 16, the tilapia had already been given "to an unknown person and/or entity," according to court documents. It remains unclear what happened to the fish.
