I have not heard of that before, will have to Google search.

I am Chinese, we call it 鳜鱼 in Chinese, I have just checked in dictionary,and the dictionary told me it is mandarin fish.

Are you sure that is what it's called? I only ask because this is what I think a Mandarin fish looks like!

I think it is the name of the recipe: 'Mandarin Fish'? There is no mandarin fish on sale in the UK. Its a way of cooking fish not a type of fish.

OK - the mandarin fish mystery!

I found this:

With the attached info:

The main ingredient of this dish is the mandarin fish from the Li River, mother river of Guilin city; therefore, the fish tastes fresh, tender and smooth. There are many ways to make a dish with mandarin fish, and the best way is steam. Steaming the mandarin fish and shredded meat, adding some shredded ginger, green onions, sesame oil and other ingredients, and you will have a refreshing dish just before your eyes!

So the mandarin fish is a river fish from China. If you ate it in a restaurant here @fanlovescooking, then I guess it must have been imported from China.

Looking at your photo @fanlovescooking , it does look very like other images ogf the Chinese mandarin fish which has a distinctive shaped and coloured tail.

A google search for Mandarin Fish yielded sea perch or barramundi/Asian sea bass

OK! That is fine.. at least we got to the bottom of the fish mystery. I think that you could cook another type of fish in this way. So if you would like to post a Recipe that would be great.
