This large fish caught my grandson's attention at Nausicaa, and I wonder if there is anyone who can identify it for him?
We did e-mail Nausicaa, but have not heard from them.
Thanks!

I am pretty certain it is a Humphead Wrasse. Found around coral reefs.
aka Napoleon Wrasse / Elvis fish
They get _very_ big, and can seem interested in divers.
I've seen 'em in the Red Sea
Cheers!
I caught one off Antigua a few years ago
Very tasty, salted.

Dinner for 20?
Looks like properly battered it would go great with chips.
I would have gone for a Maori Wrasse.
They leave in the Great Barrier Reef just off Queensland.
It is a humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus)
Napoleon Wrasse or a Grouper I'd say.
