The fish that come up to eat bread at Orient Beach are technically called palometas (Trachinotus goodei), not white angelfish. I'm not sure if the palometas are responsible for the bites, but let's call them by their real name.
And, it should go without saying: No one should be feeding bread to the fish.
Yes, that's the correct name. I have a hard time remembering it. They do look a bit like angelfish. But they sure do bite. We have had many discussions with beachgoers about this stupid practice over the years. Most just don't care.
