: Until I can find out what is the English word for ikan Tenggiri, I can't spot it in the market/asian grocery store. If tenggiri is not available, I can also use ikan kakap. I also need to know what is the english word for it.

: The English word for Tenggiri is MACKEREL.
Tenggiri can mean tenggiri papan/bunga (spotted mackerel - scomberomorus guttatus) or the more fancied tenggiri batang (spanish mackerel/narrow barred mackerel - scombremorus commerson)
Actually mackerel is used to refer to a group of species. Spotted mackerel, shark mackerel, narrowbarred mackerel and numerous other species are commonly called mackerel.
For recipes, the species referred to most times is the narrowbarred mackerel.

From an angler's point of view, kakap is actually siakap merah (lutjanus argentimaculatus) and tenggiri is spanish mackerel or narrow barred mackerel (scomboromerus commerson).
Siakap (or siakap putih) is the Malaysian equivalent to the Australian Barramundi. They are both share the scientific moniker Lates Calcarifer. At the market place, they are sold as siakap putih, siakap, seabass and seaperch.

: For what you asked 'ikan batang' perhaps we are

: a ' milk fish'

ikan batang can't be milk fish. in the philippines milk fish is "bangus", in malaysia/singapore milk fish is
"ikan susu". susu means milk. ikan batang is mackerel.

Just because 'ikan Su Su' translates to "milk fish" in Indonesian, does not mean that that is the English name, too... It's not.
