The same sort of Fish come before the Mackarel in England. They are not so common as the Scate and Whip-Rays. They would not eat him, but gave him to me. They are much the size of Angel-Fish. They are blackish, and exactly like a Tench, except in the Back-fins, which have Prickles like a Pearch. They are as good, if not better than any Tench.
The fish are bass, rock-fish, and a sort of fish like mullets, old-wives, whip-rays, and some other sorts that I knew not; but no great plenty of any, for it is deep water till within less than a mile of the shore, then there is a bank of coral rocks, within which you have shoal-water, white clean sand, so there is no good fishing with the seine.
The sea and rivers have plenty of fish; we saw abundance, though we caught but few, and these were cavallies, yellow-tails, and whip-rays.
Scarcely had we gotten over the edge of this shoal when we began to see things big blue crabs, the kind that can pinch and that play havoc with the fishermen's nets, and impudent little gray crabs, and needle-fish, and small chocolate-colored sharks nurse sharks, Sam called them and barracuda from one foot to five feet in length, and whip-rays and sting-rays.
