The body looks sort of like a carp but that head doesn't look right.

I have zero idea, I want to say like a grouper or the head even looks like a giant goby haha. no clue.

It's got a shark like head with a gold body, it's saltwater, the website called it a hippo trevally I think lol it's from west Africa

Not a carp and definitely not a travelly.
Head shape is quite confusing

Correction after a little more research I'm guessing it's a giant African threadfin (Polydactylus quadrifilis)
