Fish with a human-like smile goes viral after caught in North Carolina

Charlie Dwyer

A fish caught at Jenette’s Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina that had human-like teeth has gone viral around the world. The fish, a “Sheepshead” is common fish that often has human-like teeth, but rarely with such a perfect grilll as this one. The fish uses its chompers to crush oysters, clams and other bi-valves. Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn is named after this fish…not because the residents resemble the fish as many in New Jersey might be thinking right about now. The fish is found along the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Brazil.
