Well after a bit of hunting I've discovered they are Tangs Snapper. Apparently top grade eating.

Were these caught in metro waters or further north? If metro they are a bit further south than usual. They have been on here before but caught around Exmouth.

Yep Tang snapper. We usually get a few in coral bay.
They are sensational eating.
