Names of fresh fish here

Posted by Sandy on January 21, 2015, 4:28 pm

Does anyone know the Mexican name for Mahimahi, which is also called dorado? last year the locals did not know it by the above names and had a name of their own, which I cannot remember.
What other types of fish are around now that are good?
I was told by a friend that there is a fish coming in now that is a "red" fish that is not good eating for foreigners but locals like it. Is this true and if so, what is it called?
Thanks for your help.

Mahi-Mahi is known as Dorado here. The red flesh fish is called Furel, I believe it's a kind of tuna. Red snapper is called Huachinango. Sole is lenguado. Tuna is atun.
