Snapper

The Snapper (Pagrus auratus, sometimes Chrysophrys auratus ) One of the most popular eating fish which occur around our coastline. Quite a pretty fish with its pink, bronze and white scales.

 

This large specimen was feeding around a oyster and mussel covered point, and was rather fond of anchovies.After the photo it was returned to the water to search out safer foods. Smaller Snapper were also present.
