Sheepsheads have a high forehead and a compressed silver body with wide, dark, vertical bands, most distinct in juveniles. The large flat teeth crush and grind crustaceans and hard-shelled mollusks. Adults are typically 2-2.5 ft (60-75 cm) long and weigh about 20 lbs (9 kg)
large (up to 20 lbs) food fish of the eastern coast of the United States and Mexico
