George Rabel
: The problem is that there are many species of grouper, and jewfish is but one. Grouper includes the whole family, and the asker does not specify which "mero"

Swordfish
All the other suggestions are correct; however, in order to sell it to English (and German)speakers, you have to call it "Swordfish" -it is in fact very similar. In French it's "merou" and well known but "grouper" is the kind of fish you imagine Jacques Cousteau filming and probably wouldn't order in a restaurant.

A similar dilemma arises in Mediterranean Spain with haddock (abadejo) which is virtually unknown, unlike hake (merluza). One UK store (now closed) couldn\'t sell it\'s haddock without stickers on it saying \"tipo merluza\" ...

I KNOW that (see note). However you won't be able to sell it unless you call it that. Washed down with a nice glass of "it came"
