Are redfish unique to the South east USA, or can they be found in other places around the globe at similar lattitudes? Seems like snook, bones, tarpon, etc, can be found around the world, only makes sense that reds would be too.

I was in china a few years ago, and the restaurants had fish in aquariums - you picked out your dinner - and saw redfish in them
Redfish are definitely in China, Taiwan, and Israel. They got there on planes as newly fertilized eggs sold by commercial hatcheries in US. Striped bass have also been shipped all over world.
Redfish, tilapia, eels, etc are in the markets over there. Most of the markets had them alive in tanks. They didn’t look real healthy though. Imagine that.

Interesting tidbit from the wiki article:
“On March 1, 2009 redfish was the “secret ingredient” on the television program Iron Chef America, with competitors Mourad Lahlou and Cat Cora both preparing several dishes from the fish.”
