What kind of fish is this?

My son is in Ft Lauderdale visiting his great aunt and uncle. They live on the inter coastal and he has caught a few of these off their back dock.

I think they are supposed to be pretty good eating

Grunt for sure. Has to be better eating than the mullet they eat in south Florida.
