Bonefish is a type of fish that lives in shallow waters of most tropical and subtropical seas. The common bonefish ranges from California to Peru in the Pacific Ocean and from New Brunswick to Brazil in the Atlantic. The common bonefish is highly prized as a sports fish. However, it is not valued as a food fish.
Some bonefish weigh as much as 22 pounds (10 kilograms) and are more than 3 feet (91 centimeters) long, but most are much smaller. Bonefish eat clams and other mollusks, as well as crustaceans, such as crabs.
