slyfox-mal 1 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 we get em all the time over here in the northeast i get sick of them in the nets they sell the eggs as a cheap type of caviar cheers mal Quote Link to post
eagle 3 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) The fish on the picture is, as already mentioned, a "cyclopterus lumpus" . In addition I would like to say that the fish shown is female. The name in GB is Lumpsucker. The species are widely spread in the north atlantic and lives partly pelagic and occurs in coastal waters during the season. The fish has no value as human food.
