I need some information and recipes about a fish called Escolar 
(Lepidocybium Flavobrunneum).

Thanks a lot

>(Lepidocybium Flavobrunneum). 
 
This is an open ocean fish, taken as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries.
 I am not sure you want to cook it however.  It flesh contains specific
oils that have purgative effects; in fact what market ever existed for it
was for that purpose.  I have heard that some have eaten it without ill
effects, but there's lots of other fish in the sea unless you have that
purpose in mind.
