Escolar is generally not a problem if you limit portion size, so calling the fish "toxic" is a little bit overblown. It is a very tasty fish, to be honest. The problem here is that the labeling is poor. It's too often called "white tuna" in American sushi restaurants (as the article implies), for I guess marketing reasons. And there's no warning about potential gastrointestinal difficulties. From what I can Google, sushi restaurants are incredibly bad about mislabeling fish. (We all know that "wasabi" is usually green dyed horseradish, too. :) )
