Not a fish you see every day on the fish market in Newlyn. This 3.6kg moray eel was landed in May last year by a beam trawler working south west of Scilly. The first recorded catch was back in 2009, ironically by the same boat. As any fan of David Attenborough knows, The fish is normally found in tropical waters swimming amongst rocks and coral reefs so an event like this is rare indeed. On catching unusual fish like this, fishermen throw them back if they are still alive.
