What is the french name for the fish "red snapper"?

I have tried a Google search, have tried Babel translation, have tried Wikipedia but can not find what the fish "red snapper" is called in French!!!





I live in the French speaking province of Quebec, Canada and want to add this fish in my diet because it is an excellent source of vitamin B12, but I need to know what it is called as everything here is labled in French ( well almost everything...).





Thank you

Since Pacific "red snapper" is NOT native to Canadian waters (on the East Coast of Canada), the closest thing to "red snapper" is going to be "barbue" which is the closest to "red snapper" on this list: Snapper is a close relative of the cod family. Hope this helps.....You might want to print this out for a list that you can compare to what is written in French in the grocery stores.........

EDIT: I just emailed my sister, who lives in Saudi Arabia, and is fluent in French (since a child) and she says that red snapper is translated thusly:





poissons de vivaneau








Hope this helps.....
