Hoping ye can help me ID this fish because the food forum are no help best guess so far is sea bream. It has yellowish scales on its belly and looks very sad about something. Sorry for the very poor quality picture.

I think Sea Bream are silver with a blue tinge - But maybe come in various colours.

I dont know what it is by the way!!

It's a very sad fish by the look on it's face

Definitely not a sea bream, no doubt about that.

Not the best picture for I.d. But a couple of possibilities; could be a meagre from the med, could also be an African or Asian species, I've seen a few like it.
Where did it come from?

I got it in the Asia market on Drury St, from a box marked turbot

That is the saddest fish I have ever seen

Looks a bit like a Gilthead Bream - definitely not a Turbot, regardless of what it said on the box!

No, nothing like a gilt head bream.

Definitely not a gilt head bream.

I'll just label it as an Atlantic Sad Fish so. It wasn't particularly tasty, but enough garlic and butter can cure anything

Looks like dorado to me - sea bream, except for the mouth

Looks very similar to a North American Shad, although I don't know why it would be on this side of the Atlantic
