Ya, it can't be Atlantic. In Europe you'd pay 350.000 per kilo. (€22 / £19). And the fish is rare and only likes cold water. Even in North Jakarta markets it would be amazingly special. There are really many species here which they call 'cod', the chances are, it was indeed a freshwater fish.
But it could even be worse, look at this. I completely forgot about this, I found these ads when we talked about cod before:
So it seems they sell Gindara as Cod here?! Gindara is in fact Escolar.
And after eating Escolar, you'd get all kinds of (fish) poisoning side effects as stomach cramps:
Oceana claims that this mislabeling, whether by ignorance or deceit, is more hazardous than the mislabeling of other fish due to the potential health effects of escolar.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar#cite_note-9Escolar can be mislabeled in both restaurants and at fish markets. Oceana, an Ocean preservation organization, tested samples of tuna....
Oceana claims that escolar has been mislabeled or otherwise confused with the following fish: Atlantic cod, oilfish (related to escolar but in a different genus), rudderfish, blue cod, black cod, king tuna, grouper, orange roughy, sea bass, gemfish, Chilean sea bass, albacore tuna, and white tuna.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar#cite_note-9
