While out on the beach today, spotted a Blackback eating something.
It was a live fish, but what fish I have no idea.
Photos attatched and it was about 8 inches long.

Any fish experts be able to help me out? If so Many Thanks.

The poor thing was being eaten alive.

Not an expert by any means, but I think it might be a male Lumpsucker Kas. Normally they're a blue/green colour, but the males turn red during the breeding season.
