Does anyone know the English name for this fish?

The stripped fish in the picture below is one that I get frequently at a local beach. I have been trying to figure out what the name of it is because it is very tasty it has a firm white meat much like a lobster. The closest I have come up with is Sand Seabrem. But I am still not confused.

This is caught in Ghana, in the Atlantic Ocean, not far from the Equator.

It is always a hit when we take it to my friends Ivorian restaurant and she grills it. We eat it with a red pepper sauce, and a green pepper sauce with lots of tomatoes and onions. Along side we have Akteke which could be confused with cous couse, but it is ground and dried casava that is prepared in a certain way. Then some tasty fried plantain and avocado salad.

It's look like Two-spot red snapper (Lutjanus bohar) to me

The small red fish is what they call red fish here and it is red snapper. The two bigger fish are not, and they do not have a spot. Thanks for your input though.
