The Capone fish , also known as the Lampuga fish (scientific name *Coryphaena hippurus*), is a species of pelagic fish found in tropical and temperate seas. The dolphin fish is easily recognizable by its elongated and laterally compressed body, the iridescent blue-green color on the back, which fades to silver on the sides, and the very long dorsal fin. It is a predatory fish that feeds mainly on small fish and squid. Highly appreciated in cooking for its delicate and tasty meat, it is fished especially in the autumn months, when it approaches the coast.
