Name that fish

This creature was about a foot long and had sharp teeth. Can anyone identify the species for Murd?

Looks like a Pagrus pagrus to me, or could it be a Pygocentrus nattereri?

Was it part of a fish supper? Get some strange looking fish in your meal now that cod is in decline

That is the remains of a Sea Bream.Quite a few have been washed up on the beach recently.

I agree with Jingles. Apparently the Sea Bream is from warmer climes but sometimes they land up on the waters of the UK, Spelding.

It looks very like a Bluefish - check the net ( pardon the pun ) the protruding lower jaw - sharp teeth and forked tail - not so common in these waters though.

It's definitely a Black Sea Bream (Brama Brama) although dark grey in colour. Deep water fish swimming in waters at temperatures between 12 - 24 degrees centigrade. Found in Atlantic, Indian and South Pacific oceans.
