noelm's post in I.D. please (Red Bigeye) was marked as the answer
That’s a “Red Bigeye” distinguished from the other closely related species by what I believe to be small, light yellow spots on the dorsal fin, which appear to be present in that one.
edit……they are reasonably common in summer, and almost pests in warmer water.

Frigate, Mac Tuna have "spots" on the belly near the pectoral fin, and grow much larger.

Latchet by the looks, very similar to a Gurnard, but has prominent horn like things above the mouth, and not as good eating

noelm's post in Fish I.D Please (Jewfish/ Mulloway) was marked as the answer
Sure looks like a Jewfish, but none of the photos are really good enough to be 100%, but it's my guess.

Pretty common find, they usually get broken up, but it's normal to find them like that, shell shedding I have been told.
