John Dory
You may notice this name from episodes of Hell's Kitchen.
An odd-looking fish found in European seas, the John Dory has a huge, spiny head and long, flat body. The fish's flesh is mildly delicate, and it can be grilled, sauteed, or poached. It's rarely imported into the US, which explains why Ramsay would like to have it on his American restaurants' menus.

5I've had John Dory in England. Never in the States though. It's really nice.
6It totally explains Dory's name (though she's really a regal tang fish).
7ramsey is known to have lots of interesting things on his menus regardless of what country he's in. i do appreciate this post though since i really didn't know what it was and now i feel a bit more educated.
8I heard him say that last night and me and my husband just looked at each other with question marks on our faces. Thanks for clearing that up.
9How readily available is John Dory here in the US, and what would be an acceptable substitute??
