Fish ID. (Silver/ Sweep)

[Fishmans]

Hi, just wondering what species of fish this is. Thanks.

[Scratchie]

It's called a sweep! 

[Blackfish]

Yes, Sweep or Silver Sweep.

Just to remove doubt, if someone gets a funny looking Sweep, you do occasionally get Sea Sweep in Sydney but far from common.

So Sweep it is Scorpis lineolata
