Explanation:
Ikke så enkelt, dette her. Amberjack er ikke en enkelt fisk - du har minst Greater. Lesser og Japanese amberjack. De er tropiske rovfisk, og svært få slike har noe norsk navn. Som med Barracuda bruker vi lettest det engelske navnet. Trenger du noe skikkelig upresist, kan du jo kalle den tunfisk.

Asker: Da er det gjerne greiest å beholde det engelske navnet. Ser dere har hatt en diskusjon tidligere om "sea bream" hvor problemet er det samme.
