My buddy in San diego caught these last night and sent me a pic asking what they where. They look like a pompano with no dorsal fin and the tail cut off. Anyone know what they are?

Where they caught in salt water? Look kind of like a Pacu.

They look very similar to butterfish, but i'm not sure if they are found in the pacific

There is a fish called a California pompano. They're in the butterfish family.

They look like butterfish to me.

Did you notice they are sitting on a aluminum foil covered pan. I think they are looking like dinner to someone.
