The fish has a hard mouth and several rows of molars that look just like human teeth. Expert identified the fish as Sheepshead, a fish species found in coastal waters of the Atlantic. These fish are known for their chunky teeth. The fish uses its teeth to crush the shells of its prey, mostly oysters, clams and crabs.
