I ordered a rainbow roll from a sushi restaurant the other day, and there's a particular type of fish (I assume it's fish) that I couldn't identify. I've also had it as sashimi. It's white, with distinct parallel indented lines running in one direction. The texture is a quite chewy. A cross-section would look a little like this: ^^^^^^. It was delicious, and I'd like to know what to order next time.
I know what rainbow roll is and how to make it, I'd just like to know what this specific type of fish is. It's definitely not shrimp, octopus, salmon, tuna, or snapper.
 
The rainbow roll is a California roll with sashimi and avocado wrapped around it. The outside roll is first made, and then the ingredients are arranged diagonally in alternating colors. (Left photo: Sliced sashimi from left to right are hamachi, sea bass, salmon and tuna)

Ingredients:
Halibut, Red Snapper, or Sea Bass
Tuna
Salmon
Yellowtail
Avocado
California Roll
Nori
Wasabi

Place the sashimi on the California roll at a slight angle. Leave some space open for
avocodo.


Peel an avocodo, then thinly peel the outer meat, which is greener than the rest of the fruit.
Fill in the gaps with the avocodo and cover the roll with plastic wrap.
Cover with a sushi mat and grip tightly. Cut into 8 pieces.
