No idea what this is. About 8” long. Seagull was poking at it when we found it. Still alive but not for long. Upturned mouth with pacific mackerel-like marking on its back. Thoughts?

I'm reading Josh Niland's Fish Butchery. Could anyone tell me what fish exactly is this? My guess is trout, but I'm not sure.

I think it's a sardine but I'm not quite sure. It doesn't look like the sardines I usually see here (South western coast of India)

Tail at Jones Beach NYC?

2 Upvotes

I was walking in the dunes on Jones Beach NYC and found this very long tail-like structure. It was pretty far from the water so I'm thinking some bird picked it up and dropped it, or maybe it got deposited there when the dunes flooded at some point. I wish I had added something for size reference but you can see the tip of my sneaker on the left side of the photo. It was very long, maybe 8-10 ft, and it was covered in spiny structures. Thinking maybe this is a stingray tail because if you go up about a foot from the thickest part there's some sort of pad where it looks like a spine might have been attached.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas, thanks!
