Can someone identify this FISH?

I took this Picture In Monito Island between Puerto Rico and The Dominican Repullic in the Caribbean. I can figure this one out.

I'm thinking some sort of tuna, but I'm sure you'll get a better ID from somebody else!

Definitely does not look like a tuna to me but I don't have a better answer.

With exception of the Dorsal fin it looks like a dolphin fish, its kinda hard to tell from the angle as well since there information on the size or color patterns. Either way it looks tasty

I have to first say, that it's not the easiest photo by which to make an identification, but it looks like a Jack of some sort - definitely a species of Carangidae (Jacks). As to the species, maybe a Crevalle Jack given the head and pectoral fin morphology (shape), perhaps a Horse-eye (but the eye doesn't look large enough in the photo) or maybe a Black Jack - given the prominent scutes in front of the caudal fin and steep head profile of the fish in the photo.

Regardless, it is likely a species of Jack, but which one for sure is hard to say.

Hope that helps.

Jack makes alot more sense then my Dolphin Fish answer. Body just seems a little on the thin side base to top wise for a jack. But since the photo is on a downward angle its really hard to tell.
