Anybody know this one? Looks like a trigger of some sort. We caught 4 of them in 95’.

Really interesting; that’s a rare catch. Wonder if it tastes like trigger?!
A friend caught one yesterday. I heard they are good to eat…cannot confirm.

A review shows the species name Aluterus monoceros. Reports I read say they are very good eating but I don’t know what regulations are for them. The ones we caught were all 3-4 lbs.

They are not regulated by the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and I don’t think SCDNR either.

Sorry - wrong species name.
Jeez I can’t type today.
I meant - you are right Sulcataman, I typed the wrong species name.
Unicorn filefish… I see them diving.
Are they good for sharpening your diving knife Skinne? File fish. I know, bad joke.
