No. Although that is probably in my ever growing list of top ten foods.
It is a fish, though.

Ahi fillet aka Tuna?
No.
I do think this is unfair. Sorry - It is very much a European thing. SandwichShortOfAPicnic, karadekoolaid , Windigo and Timenspace are more likely to know it. Its not easily found even here. I first ate it in France and was entranced.
Mullet?
Bubble & Squeak?

I reckon you might be right, red mullet...but let's wait for MG...google tells me it's cipli over here...
I have one more option but it’s not a fish I’ve ever eaten so the last throw into the ring would be a google assisted guess!

Absolutely! Google knows it all, and I definitely do not.
But Mg said, confirmed it was a fish.
So you got it!

Oooh, sorry, I missunderstood...well, both gold and silver are yours then!
Actually it's not technically a mullet. But you are damned close.

I am looking for the type of fish, yes.
You got it. Well done!
Its a beautiful fish and tastes quite different from other fish in my opinion. Not least because the liver can be left in the cavity when its cooked and imparts a very special flavour. I cooked this very simply, in the oven with the cavity stuffed with herbs (lots of roesmary) and lemon:
