There is a large difference between not saying what type of fish it is, and directly contradicting the truth(lying.)

McDonalds didn't lie in any of that advertising(no matter how gross the food is.) They even had the actual type of fish in a discover-able format which the high end sushi restaurant fails to do and charges you high prices for what might be worse than what McDonalds is selling you; how would you know?

Uhm, way to take it out of context. I was only bringing up McDonald's in reply to the quote in the parent comment:

>> I don't order "the fish" in any restaurant.

I wasn't using it for any other argument.

Now, in reply to your point: like I said much earlier, as Wikipedia says, the FDA and other "experts" don't consider this to be lying either. So if you have a problem, you should be complaining to them instead.
