Red-banded Tiger Fish
Has anyone heard of a red-banded tiger fish? I saw it at my local Chinese supermarket yesterday and tried to look it up online to gauge its sustainability, but didn't come up with any results.
It's a light- almost white-colored fish with thick orange-red stripes on its cross section.
I'm looking to cook more fish, and wanted to explore as many sustainable options as I could.

Sounds like a Pixar fish... Don't cook Nemo!
Just kidding. Sorry, wish I could help.

Without seeing the fish, it could be a member off the genus Datinoides. Common in SE Asia, several species are available and they grow up to 3 feet. You can find them in pet stores occasionally as a tropical fish.
