ASK restaurant fined over 'misleading' lobster dish

The Italian restaurant chain ASK has been fined for misleading customers about a lobster dish.

The Aragosta e Gamberoni (lobster and king prawns) dish contained a mixture of 35% lobster and 34% white fish, plus other ingredients, formed to look like lobster meat, an investigation found.

The dish, the most expensive on the menu, retailed at £14.95 while the cost of the raw ingredients was only £2.84.

The chain was fined £40,000 on Tuesday for misleadingly describing food.
