That blackfish in your picture looks like it needs some dental work. I gather they eat the same as a sheepshead. Sheepshead use their flat long teeth to crush mollusks and crabs and to scrap barnacles from rocks and pilings. It's no problem this time of year in Texas to stand at the docks and see the sheepshead eating the barnacles off the wood pilings. They are easy to catch with a small shrimp. I don't bother with them as I find them hard to clean.
