Bluefish

Pomatomus saltatrix

Bluefish are a truly voracious predator, known to gorge on schools of menhaden or anchovies, leaving a slick of chewed fish and oil for the telltale gathering of birds above a feeding frenzy. Many anglers also become aware of their aggressiveness and learn the hard way to avoid their powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth.

Heads Up! The Virginia Living Museum planetarium is CLOSED today for maintenance, but will reopen tomorrow.
