The sheepshead fish is a species commonly found in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Known for its distinctive appearance, it has a deep, laterally compressed body and prominent teeth that resemble those of a sheep. These teeth help the fish feed on hard-shelled prey like crabs and oysters. Sheepshead typically grow to about 12 to 24 inches in length and can weigh up to 15 pounds. They are popular among anglers due to their challenging catch and delicious taste. The fish often inhabit structures like wrecks and jetties, making them a favorite target for recreational fishing.
