The skilletfish is a small, frying pan-shaped fish often found clinging to oyster shells in the middle and lower Chesapeake Bay.
Appearance:
The skilletfish has a frying pan-shaped body that grows to about 3 inches in length. It varies in color from pale gray to dark brown with a mottled pattern, and has a dark band at the base of its rounded tail fin. A large suction disc, formed by modified pelvic fins, appears on the underside of the body. It has a broad, flat head with tiny eyes, strong teeth and fleshy lips.
Habitat:
Usually lives among oyster reefs, but may also be found within eelgrass beds. Stays in shallow waters near the shore during warmer months but will move to deeper waters in winter. Almost always clings to rocks or shells with suction disc.
