bluefish

Voracious ocean predator

Bluefish is an aggressive saltwater fish found along the Atlantic coast, prized by sport fishermen for its fighting spirit and by cooks for its rich, oily flesh.

The name comes from its blue-green coloring.

Bluefish travel in schools and feed voraciously, sometimes driving prey onto beaches in a frenzy: The bluefish are running.
