Remove cookie sheet from the oven and place 1/2 inch thick slices of the parboiled potatoes between the pieces of fish. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the fish and potatoes until they are lightly covered. Season the entire tray with a dusting of salt, garlic powder and ground oregano.

Perhaps you should ask your thoughtful gift giver..
i had trouble finding recipes for this type of fish. perhaps the label on the can gives a website or idea?
I would make wahoo patties. Here are some recipes for salmon. Just substitute the wahoo for the salmon:

Wahoo is a type of mackeral.
According to Wikipedia:
The flesh of the Wahoo is delicate and white and regarded as very good in quality. This has created some demand for the wahoo as a premium priced commercial food fish. However, because of its solitary lifestyle, it is taken commercially only as a bycatch in the long-line fishery for Tuna and Dolphin. Wherever found, it is a prized sport fishing catch. Not always catchable, but otherwise it can be very delicious
It sounds to me like you would cook it as you would any firm-fleshed fish.
You could grill it, for instance.
