Can anyone tell what this is? Caught off a dock in Fire Island Inlet, Long Island. There was a school of these hanging out in calm part of the dock in a few feet of water. It's not a Silverside or baby Bluefish so I have no idea what it is, can anyone tell? t's about 2 inches or so long, there were some larger ones in the school. I brought this one home to keep preserved in case further info is needed for an ID.

triple dorsal fins, the first pointed. It could be a hake.

Hmm. Triple dorsal fin? I will be of no help, as I am not familiar with saltwater fish, but are there really 3 dorsal fins, or is the most posterior an adipose fin?

I think I may have cracked the case- juvenile Pollock?
