Sheepshead

Archosargus probatocephalus

Sheepshead grow large on their shellfish diet. They crunch up barnacles, fiddler crabs and other hard-shelled animals with their large front teeth. Some people call sheepshead "convict fish" because of the black and white bars that run up and down the fish's sides.
