Yellowtail also known as 黄尾鱼 (huang wei yu) in Chinese.
It is a salt water reef fish native to the western Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
They can be identified by their greenish-yellow stripe which runs along the length of the body as well as the tail which is where the name "Yellowtail" comes from.
It has slightly sweet, white, fine and flaky flesh which is good to eat. Also, it has a very oily texture, however it is a very delicate and nutritious fish.
