Joe M Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Redondo Beach, California. Can somebody please identify this fish? They are approx 4-7 inches in length. Small mouths. Sharp teeth. Larger ones have the small black stripe with turquoise tint. Smaller ones are reddish green with black spots. Are these fish safe to eat as panfish? Quote

Super User Darren. Posted July 23, 2016 Super User Posted July 23, 2016 Welcome aboard, Joe. Sorry, mate, no idea what you've got there, but I totally agree with @Maxximus Redneckus that you've got bones galore in that there fish. Quote
mrpao Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I believe what you have there are called rock wrasse. They inhabit the California coastal waters and can get around 12" long. I would assume they are safe to eat, as most fish are, but not really for certain. 1 Quote
