Default Nope - It's actually a . .

That looks like a fish I see alot along coastal Florida. It's common name
is "Porgy" and tier's several different kinds. This is one of the most
common, perhaps even the most common.

Unfortunbately it is a fish native to Japam, Okinawa.
How it could end up in Florida is beyond me.
Here is a photo of a juvenile. Note the lip structure.
