They changed the name because some jews, who had no idea why the fish had gotten its name (because it was so white and clean that they said it could pass Kosher, thus the jews could eat it) got 'offended,' so they decided to name it after the enemy of the jews, Goliath. I call them "Philistinefish" now, when somebody calls it a Goliath Grouper. Goliath was a Philistine, after all....
