Default What kind of fish is this?

I work in a place that specializes in fish. I do not do the ordering or talk to the suppliers. Our current "catch" of the day is a fish the supplier calls pongo. I have tried to research this fish on line, and am coming up empty. The manager says it's supposed to be from Viet Nam. The fillets we have are long and flat, 1/2" at the thickest part and about 3" wide. It has a very faint pink color and reminds me, in texture, of grouper (kind of mushy/jelly-ish toward the tail). It has a very mild, pleasant flavor that reminds me of orange roughy, but I don't believe we have the correct name. Is anyone familiar with this fish? Thanx for any light you can shed.
