Excellent table fare. They are a member of the jack family, so on the oily side, usually baked or grilled. Pompano palliote is a famous New Orleans recipe where they are baked in parchment paper. I usually filet and skin , then grill.
The other fish is a whiting, also pretty good eating. Usually caught in the winter months, this one is a decent size. Make great tacos.
This is my favorite part of pompano fishing, typical view from my beach chair
