Boarfish?

Alright lads?

Was on IAs Facebook earlier, and there was a fella enquiring as to what this fish was? My first idea was a boarfish, but I thought they were a deepwater species? Anyone else got any ideas?

It was "found" in a Rockpool mate, so I'm not sure whether it was living or dead at the time.
Though looking at the photo it seems very much alive/fresh. :?
