    What kind of fish...

    Is this...

    Parents caught it during the easter holidays on the coast and it appears to have a colourful pair of wings... and legs...
    I don't know much about fish (ok.. nearly nothing) but just wondering what kind of fish it is.
    Caught on East coast of NSW.
