The commercial names Trevally or Jack cover a wide range of species with various local names, including Horse Mackerel, Crevalle Jack, Scad, Pompano and Amberjack.
The Yellowtail Amberjack (Seriola lalandi) is probably the best tasting, and is also successfully farmed in Australia; giving a consistent supply of 3-4kg fish.
Trevallys and Jacks are often confused with Kingfish - not surprising as the Yellowtail Amberjack is sometimes (incorrectly) refered to as Yellowtail Kingfish.
Citrus marinades help retain the moisture during cooking, and they work very well with Thai and Cajun flavours.
