Identify this fish!


Trawled up by the Crystal Sea II, this deep water fish needs a name. The boat was fishing about 50 miles south west of the Scillies in 70 fathoms of water. When the fish first appeared out of the cod end it was quite a strong blue colour. Answers on a postcard, or even better email or add a comment at the foot of the post if you have any idea what this tubby looking chap is.


And there was me thinking that identifying the above as Schedophilus medusophagus - a Cornish Blackfish - was just ironic! We live and learn. So that's what was in the well.
