The bonefish (Albula vulpes) is the type species of the bonefish family (Albulidae), the only family in order Albuliformes. Bonefish live in shallow inshore water.
Bonefish are considered one of the premier fly and light tackle game fish. Fishing for bonefish, called bonefishing, is a popular sport in the Bahamas. Bonefishing is mostly done for the sport, so the fish are released, but they may also be eaten in less developed areas. A typical Bahamian recipe is a split fish seasoned with pepper sauce and salt, then baked.
