Oscar Lundahl, 19, was trying to catch a blue flounder when he suddenly saw an unusual fish swimming at the end of the stream off the coast of Andoya, Norway.
For more After 30 minutes of struggling with the fish, the animal finally bit the fishing line. “I just felt something strange, but then I was surprised when I lifted the fishing rod to shore,” said Lundahl.
That is a fish that looks very especially with its huge eyes protruding like light bulbs that are completely disproportionate to its small body. According to an angler in Northern Europe, this creature belongs to the ratfish species, a relative of the shark, dating back 300 million years.
The Latin name of this rare fish is Chimaeras Monstrosa Linnaeus. It is known that this name originates from the monster in Greek mythology with the head of a lion and the tail of a dragon.
This is a fish that usually lives In very deep water, it is rarely caught. They have large bulging eyes to see dark areas under the ocean. It was very unfortunate that when the fish was brought out of the water’s surface, it died due to extreme pressure changes.
Not wanting to waste the Norwegian guest, he took the fish home and deep-fried it. “Even though it looks ugly, it is very delicious. The meat is quite similar to cod but tastier,” Mr. Lundahl.
Although strange, this species of rat fish is not harmful to humans. They mainly eat crustaceans such as crabs, snails and clams…
