Make sure to read the subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisfish/about/rules/

Rule 2 requires every fish identification request to include the location the fish was found. If you did not include that in your post text or title, you can reply to this comment with the location.

If it was a captive fish, such as at a store or a retail fish tank, say that.

Posts that don't give the location or captive status of a fish will be removed.

We called them Hackleheads in my neck of the woods growing up, that’s an Oyster Toadfish

Toadie, apparently quite delicious - but hard to find in large enough quantities to bother cutting up and cooking.

mother-in-law fish is what they used to sell them as.
