“The Florida pompano<\/b> (Trachinotus carolinus<\/i>[1]<\/a><\/sup>) is a species<\/a> of marine fish in the Trachinotus<\/a><\/i> (pompano<\/a>) genus<\/a> of the Carangidae<\/a> family<\/a>. It has a compressed body and short snout<\/a>; coloration varies from blue-greenish silver on the dorsal<\/a> areas and silver to yellow on the body and fins. It can be found along the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean<\/a>, depending on the season, and is popular for both sport and commercial fishing.<\/p>\n

Most Florida pompano caught weigh less than 3\u00a0lb (1.4\u00a0kg) and are less than 17\u00a0in (43\u00a0cm) long, though the largest individuals weigh 8\u20139\u00a0lb (3.6\u20134.1\u00a0kg) and reach lengths up to 26\u00a0in (66\u00a0cm). \u00a0The Florida<\/a> city of Pompano Beach<\/a> is named after the Florida pompano.<\/p>\n

The different kinds of pompano include African, Cayenne, Florida, and Irish. The Florida pompano (T. carolinus<\/i>) is part of the jack family. It is very similar to the permit<\/a> (Trachinotus falcatus<\/a><\/i>). It has a deeply forked tail and is blue-greenish silver with yellow on the throat, belly, and pelvic and anal fins. The first dorsal fins are low, with about six separate spines. The first spine may be reabsorbed in a larger fish. The second lobes on the dorsal and anal fins have a lower anterior.[2]<\/a><\/sup>There are 20-24 anal fin rays. It is a compressed fish with a deep body and a blunt snout.<\/p>\n

The adult Florida pompano is typically found in more saline areas and relatively warm waters (70-89\u00a0\u00b0F), so it migrates northward in the summer, and toward the south in the fall.[5]<\/a><\/sup> Despite its name, the<\/p>\n

range of the Florida pompano extends from Massachusetts<\/a> to Brazil<\/a>, but it is more common in areas near Florida. During the summer, it can be found near Sebastian, Cape Hatteras, and the Gulf of Mexico. It is more common near oil rigs, Palm Beach, and Hobe Sound during the winter. It can also be found near the Virgin Islands year round.<\/p>\n

Its habitat is surf flats, and it tends to stay away from clear water regions, such as the Bahamas<\/a>.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Pompanos are very fast swimmers and live in schools. They are bottom feeders. They have very short teeth and feed on zoobenthos and small clams.<\/p>\n

The pompano is a popular food fish. Chefs like it because the fillets are of even thickness, which aids in cooking. A popular dish created in New Orleans<\/a>, called \u201cpompano en papillote,\u201d is wrapped in parchment<\/a> paper with a white sauce of wine, shrimp<\/a>, and crabmeat<\/a>, and then steamed.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The pompano\u2019s flesh is oily and looks white and opaque. Its diet yields a rich but mild flavor. Fresh fillets can cost $17 or more.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Demand has encouraged the use of aquaculture to increase supply.” \u00a0More background here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re big advocates of catch and release, particularly for snook, but pretty much\u00a0for most species. \u00a0Only take what you are going to eat, and a lot of fish are better off as sportfish, even if they are in season. \u00a0Our motto is let \u2018em get bigger and catch \u2018em again!<\/p>\n
