Identifying fish in the markets

10 years ago

I've searched extensively and cannot seem to find a list of the fish we commonly see in the markets with both Panamanian and English name. I saw a chart in the fish coop once in Gorgona, but can't see it there anymore.

Some of the common ones such as corvina, robalo and pargo are fairly easy to identify, but from time to time there are new ones on the tables at the Rio Hato market where we usually buy.

Has anyone here discovered a cross reference list of the names and hopefully the photos too?

Thanks for any help here.

BTW: I say Panamanian names because I found a link to some of the fish in Spain, but many of the common ones like sea bass ( I believe it's corvina here) are called something else in Spain.
