Can you do that?

States ban Vietnamese catfish

That sure sounds like a Congressional matter ot me. Anyway, the excuse is that the Vietnamese farmers use a type of antibiotics banned for agricultural use. I am all for doing something about the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. However, I get the feeling that this is more about finding an excuse to prop up local fishermen and fish farms. And scaring people away from the Vietnamese product after it's won recent taste tests.
