Summary: Question--what kind of fish works in Braised Whole Fish?

I've only had Chinese whole fish twice, once at the original
Chef Chu's in Mt. View, CA, and once at Hunan in Santa Fe, but 
it was great both times.  Chef Chu's book has the right recipe,
"Shanghai Braised Whole Fish".

My problem is that the recommended fish (rock cod or red snapper)
is not available in this small town.  Can anyone suggest an
appropriate substitution?  Would frozen fish work?  The only thing
I could find that looked reasonable was frozen whole catfish.
