We occasionally see small groups of palometas (4 to 6), but this was the largest school that we have ever seen. The fish has a striking appearance due to its extremely long fins that are bordered in black.

Swimming with Palometas
This morning, we were lucky enough to encounter a school of about 60 palometas in less than 15 feet of water, over sand. They didn't seem to mind us, and milled around for quite a while. Palometas belong in the jack family. They grow up to about 18 inches. The fish in today's school were about 12 inches long.
