Well, it took me more than a day to get back. But I was in the same supermarket this morning and spotted that they had the mystery fish again and they had decided to label them. The sign read 黄尾鱼,which means 'yellow tail fish'. That is only slightly more helpful than just 'fish', but with their being literally dozens of fish varieties called yellowtail, I'm no nearer finding out.
But I bought some anyway. When the woman weighed and priced my selection, I noticed that the barcode sticker she printed read "金丝鱼“ or "gold thread fish". Again this name appears to be given to many different species, none of which look like these.
Whatever they are, they made a nice lunch.
