I don't know whats the fish is called but in my country we have plenty of good choices ;)

@Sue Janeway, Steam fish is mostly for FRESH fish. DO NOT use frozen fish to steam because that will not taste good. My mum says any fish is fine, only the time will differ on the size. This Tilapia is 1.5lb for 10 minutes.
