Do Sailfish Have Teeth?

Those who have handled a sailfish before will know that they have very rough bill and it’s best to wear a pair of glove when you need to ‘bill’ one.

But what about teeth? The answer to weather adult sailfish have teeth is yes, they do have fine, file-like teeth. Not enough to do too much damage.

However, do be aware that smaller juvenile sailfish do posses some nasty teeth as can be seen from the photos. They loose those as the sailfish grow larger in size.
