So you all know that, unlike the words "chicken", "pork" and "beef", USDA doesn't impose any truth-in-advertising regulations on the names of fish and restaurants are allowed to call the fish they sell you anything they want right They can, and do, just liehttps://twitter.com/JillFilipovic/status/1354868000885641218 …

I always though Gifelte was a way to fancy up ole Whitefish.

It's weird and unscrupulous. I think the main reason they get away with it is because a lot of types of fish are *really similar*, especially if you can't do a direct comparison. There's generally nothing wrong with the replacement fish, it's just not what you thought you ordered

and *that's* the part I have an issue with. Like, if I knew I was eating a Patagonian toothfish, I wouldn't care, it tastes fine. But telling me it's something else cuts a lot of accountability out of things.

Minnesotans had a righteous fit when Walleye at some local restaurants was found to be "Zander" from Europe. Nothing really stops the practice so it's probably still going on.https://sportsmansblog.com/2004/12/01/somethings_a_bi/ …

It's crazy how much of this is inherent to fishing - there's no such thing as Scrod, it's a term restaurants came up with back in the day to sell Cod back when people thought it was unfit for human consumption. Same reason they used to feed lobsters to prisoners btw.

This is wild, but also...those sound equally fancy to me.

This is also more an FDA issue than USDA, with maybe the exception of catfish (not sure if those rules were ever finalized and enacted).
