While eating lunch, on a rising tide beside Lavender Bay, I saw a large fish, about ~60cm, green/bluish top, and very similar to a rat kingfish in size and shape. But the back 20% of the fish was jet-black, from about its anal fin backwards and including the tail. From what I could see, the bottom/front of the fish by its pectoral fins was the same green/bluish colour. It was zipping along, just like a kingie, hunting bait fish in shallow water, less than 2m deep. There were no others evident in the area.

Sorry no pic - it only went by once.
Any ideas?
