Don't thank me  tongue.gif  tongue.gif cause I also got it from other tered. Just that in that tered its Cantonese name are not complete and nobody even reply in filling up the Cantonese name (Maybe cause it in Kopitiam where most people just bullshiting).

I got it from (Don't worry, no virus. It is a link to other lowyat thread):

Ma yau yue is threadfin, not mackerel. Mackerel in cantonese is Gaau Yue or in full Ma Gaau Yue (Ma Gaau, pronounce around the same as how you pronounce Macau in English). TS already give you the links for fish name list. TS start this thread just to get Cantonese words or missing Cantonese name for the fish from the tered (The links).

Yup. you can just search from the link that I mentioned in my thread.
Name of Malaysia edible fish & Fish eating concern
You can just press "Ctrl + F" after clicking the link and type "mah yau yu" or anything close enough and you will find the answer.
P.S. Pinyin/simple pronunciation might be harder to search.

u left out my fav

COD fish = 鳕魚
*
The reason I left Cod fish out of the list:
1. It is an imported fish same as Salmon, Trout and etc which I also left out from the list.

2. Cod fish in Chinese speaking world, the 鳕魚 are usually mislabeled/refers to other type of fish which is not cod fish but sold as 鳕魚. Example including but not limited to Chilean sea bass, Pollock fish, Sablefish and etc.
