This came up in a friends cast net while he was getting peanut bunker in Shinnecock ?
First glance from the picture it looked like a butterfish to me , not sure though.

I'm pretty sure it's an example of a Peprilus Medius, butterfish.

Butterfish are all over right now. We had a school swim up behind the boat in the Western Long Island Sound yesterday.

Fish ID please:

 

[captmike28]

"Abus Vigodath" a distant member of the Genus Barney Miller species!!!

 

[Roccus7]

"Abus Vigodath" a distant member of the Genus Barney Miller species!!!

Correct, but the appropriate taxonomic writing would be either Abus vigodath or Abus vigodath to account for only the genus being capitalized and the Latin, Greek, or in most of our cases, Pig Latin words.

Have to be editorially correct
