When I moved from India, I found it
very difficult to identify the fishes in the local market. In India I
knew the local name of most fishes but in a foreign land it was
difficult to select some. I was totally confused.All fish looked the
same :) So I just referred to some fish related sites to get the local
names and their english names along with pictures( a picture says a
thousand words) so that one can identify the fishes easily with no
further confusion. So no more confusion. The fish
glossary contains fish name translation in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada,
Telugu, konkani, bengali, marthi and Arabic names form the UAE and gulf
market and some name in sindhi and balochi languages. You can check the
reference at the bottom of the blog for malaysian, Singapore and Pinoy
names for the fishes. Help me correct, if I have written any names
wrong. Before going to the fish glossary , lets check the how to select a fresh fish and for Good Seafood Recipes check this page:
'The freshness Factor - How to buy Fresh Fish'

scarlet gills/bright pink or red on a fish mean it’s freshly caught. A
dull color is old fish. A red dye is often applied to the gills to make
appear fresh , so beware

The red mullets or surmullets are two species of goatfish, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, found in the Mediterranean Sea, east North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea.They are both favored delicacies in the Mediterranean, and in antiquity were "one of the most famous and valued fish".[Wiki]
Red mullet has a distinctive set of 4-5 broad, dark brown bands on the body.For a clear view check the picture with the close up of 2 mullets.Red mullet have a alternating blue and yellow lines on the head and snout, pink chin barbels with yellow tips, and blue spots in lines along the body.The red mullet is expensive since it tastes good and is easy to clean & bone.
