Yea, "it's on the internet and everything on the internet is true"... "Bonjour!"

But you're right, like that expensive "Chilean Sea Bass" on the menu? It's not a bass and it doesn't come from Chile. "Chilean Sea Bass" is a AMERICAN TRADE NAME (like Kleenex) for Dissostichus eleginoides, commonly known as Patagonian Toothfish.

How's that one? So next time ask for it by it's correct name.
