One scary fish...

...found on the beach this morning...it was only about 5 or 6 inches in length, but even so!!!!





Yikes!

...that's enough, I can't cope.

Can you imagine swimming along and coming across it! Thankfully I don't swim, it was enough finding it on the shoreline. lol.

It could well have been CT. Definitely had the mouth for it! lol

ann @ studiohyde said...

I think it's a Monk Fish (check Google Images). There is one hanging on one of the fish counters at Pike Place Market, Seattle. It has a string so the fish mongers can make it move to scare the tourists! The one there is about 2 feet long! One very ugly fish.

Makes me glad to be a non swimmer lol :-)

ann @ studiohyde said...

I know!

ann @ studiohyde said...

I think you could be right Kate...just taken a look at some google pics and it did look like a Monk fish. Makes me respect fishermen all the more now, if they have to deal with catching things like this, oh boy!!!!

That does look a very frightening fish! My fisherman husband is out this evening I will have to show it to him. I have never heard of a monk fish. Sarah x
