Dozens of people in Taiwan have changed their names to "salmon" to take advantage of a restaurant's sushi promotion deal.

Officials have issued a plea asking people to stop visiting government offices to request the name change.

The restaurant offered an all-you-can-eat sushi meal to anyone with the name Gui Yu or "salmon" on their ID card.

Unimpressed officials said the rush was wasting government time.

The offer began on Tuesday when sushi restaurant chain Akindo Sushiro said anyone with the Chinese characters in their name could get free food for themselves and five friends.
