Can anyone identify this fish?

It's on a menu we want to translate into English, and we're sure as hell it ain't "frog fish" as the dictionary says!

 

Ugly F**K

Do you eat that?

 

I think it's an anglar fish. Pretty isn't it!

Is that a hook in its lips ?

 

The latin name is

Fishus Ugly*******us

 

Doesn't look like a frog fish ?

Thanks all.

As "Lobster, shrimp, ugly f**ker" doesn't look so good on the menu, we're going to call it angler fish

Edit - no we're not. "Gastronomic circles, known as Monkfish". Now there's a name I recognise!

BTW, apparenty it grows up to five feet long!! Are you watching, Arron Bird?!

Bon appetit!

How about 'Fish thats been run over by a bus!'?

For gods sake don't put a picture in the menu, no one will buy it......uuuuugghhhhhhh

 

Definately an angler fish.

Yep, called an Angler fish as it uses the light on the antenae above its head to attract small fish, which it then eats.

I'm sure a Monkfish is something different.

 

Another handsome fish (not) - the monkfish

 

Coming soon to the BBC, a brand new drama series, featuring JOHN ACTOR as Monkfish - a tough, uncompromising, undercover cop - in, "Monkfish: Undercover Cop".

It's not an Angler Fish.....

Anglerfish.......

 

It is an Anglerfish or more commonly known as Monkfish when eaten

It's a species of anglerfish. Monkfish are related to skate, ray and dogfish, and kind of look like a cross between a dogfish and a skate. The mouth on a monkfish is underneath, not on top. British rod caught record for anglerfish is about 95lbs I think.
