AIUI there is no treife fish that can be mistaken for salmon.

I've never heard of anyone cheating with salmon.  With other species,
it is notorious that cheating is rife, and one must see a skin tag.
Back in about 1980, the Melbourne Age found that 50% of fish sellers
in Victoria sell one species as another, and that there is effectively
no government supervision.  I have no reason to believe that anything
has changed in this regard, or that the situation is any better in other
places.
