One more tai...You can't leave out a favorite of sashimi lovers everywhere.
kin (gold) + me (eye) + tai = kinmedai
The golden eye snapper, latin name Beryx splendens.
Notice the glassy eye appearance of kinmedai which is normal, unlike this guy <-- 
Actually, "golden eye snapper" makes a pretty appealing English name, so "kinmedai" may not catch on. Many Japanese restaurants in this country do serve kinmedai, including Morimoto in New York.
