NAGS HEAD, N.C. — A fish with multiple rows of human-like teeth was caught in Nags Head earlier in the week, lighting up social media and no doubt haunting the dreams of many who gazed into its toothy maw.
Sheepshead fish usually hang out near rocks, jetties, reefs, and even bridges. They are also known as the "convict fish" because of their black and white stripes.
