What those Fish names in Japanese Kanji characters means in English

Came across this in supermarket today at the sushi shelves. Thought of testing myself...couldnt identify all of them but the common ones are easy enough.

Handy to know what u are eating or ask for, while looking at a Japanese menu or at the sushi bar.

鰈 かれい Right eye flounder
鰻 うなぎ Eel
鮑 あわび abalone
鰆 さわら jap Spanish mackerel
鮭 サケ Salmon
鯛 タイ Snapper
鰯 イワシ sardine
鰹 カツオ Bonito
鯒 flathead
鱒 マス Trout
鱈 タラ Cod
鮒 フナ Carp
鮃 ヒラメ flatfish
鰤 ブリ Yellowtail
鯖 サバ mackerel


The rest...completely no idea....Now, to find out how they are pronounced in Cantonese in Hong Kong...
