Are silver fish and silver sides the same thing?

[raynist]

Saw some silver fish frozen fish at Wholey's and some of the Asian markets in the strip today and they are much cheaper than the silversides you see at the LFS. Are they the same thing?

I've heard them both called the same, so i would venture to say yes. Do they look like the common silverside sold frozen? If they are 5'' or less i would think its safe to say they are the same fish.

These looked like the scales may have been removed. They were sold in a frozen brick. Looked to be 2lbs.
