Juvenile (35cm) Humphead/Maori/Napoleon wrasse (take your pick) destined for the pot, BUT isn't it a protected species?
The restaurant was the Victoria Seafood restaurant, 5th floor, CITIC centre, Central, Hong Kong.
I have sent an email to both the AFCD (Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department), HKU and the WWF to seek clarity on whether the restaurant has the required CITES import permits.
This is a beautiful fish that does need protection to ensure its survival.
A useful website on the status of the Napoleon wrasse can be found HERE

mind touching blog...keep it up dude.
Were there any replies from the departments?
Yes, the AFCD did reply. At the time I sent the enquiry the restuarnt was not licensed. They have subsequently applied for a license, just before the deadline.
If Napoleon Wrasse are spotted in a restaurant send and email to espint@afcd.gov.hk with details of the retaurant. They will be able to act if the restaurant is not licensed
