Garfish are elongated fish known for their distinctive, elongated bodies and sharp teeth. They belong to the family Belonidae and are commonly found in shallow coastal waters around the world. Garfish have a greenish-blue coloration on their backs, which helps them blend into their surroundings, and they can grow up to 3 feet long. These fish are often recognized for their bony, elongated jaws and are known to leap out of the water when threatened. Garfish primarily feed on small fish and invertebrates, making them an important part of the marine ecosystem. They are also popular in some cuisines, particularly in European countries.
