Did you catch this fish in our waters ?

Look at it with a quick glance ... it looks like a red chinaman to me ...

* a deep elongated pit between the eye and nostril


Taking a closer look ... notice some black at the tip of the first dorsal fin ...
Hmmm ... Peace, any idea what fish is this ?

dBs, that's not the red chinaman but you got very close to the answer with that observation on the black tip fin. It's a Blacktip Grouper. ;) Patrick, may I ask if this fish is caught locally?
