It looks suspiciously like a juvenile Greater Mottled Barnacle-Busting Deep-Water Bloated King Blenny to me, they come up to shallow water occasionally to shed their skins.
And it looks like its a white grouper in bad light, I'm guessing it was quite big? The Atlantic Giant Grouper also looks very close to the color but I don't think that goes in to the med.
One nice thing to note I found this while looking for it, apparently malta has the second largest number of great white sharks in the world................
