wreckfish
Atlantic bottom dweller
Wreckfish is a large Atlantic fish that inhabits deep, rocky waters, often found near shipwrecks and underwater structures—hence the name.
It can grow over six feet long and weigh several hundred pounds.
The flesh is mild and firm, making it a desirable food fish, though it remains relatively obscure compared to other commercial species.
