OARFISH at East Cape

The oarfish came a shore this morning between Buena Vista Beach Resort and Rancho Leonero right in front of our home.
It was a very rare sight that you dont' see down here to often.

Re: OARFISH at East Cape

Was it dead? Did they save it? Fry it up? More details......Thing looks pre-historic

Re: OARFISH at East Cape

This one was barely a live when we found it. NO we didn't eat it, it's in a freezer over at Palmas de Cortez. We did contact Scripps they are very interested in it, along with all the pictures. It's really a strange looking fish and yes very pre- historic. Normally when they come to the surface they are either near dead or dead. They have one on the wall over at Buena Vista Beach Resort that came a shore about 10 years ago. It had it's tail take off but looked liked it was done some time ago since the skin was healed. There was some other bite marks on it. All in All it was something special to see.

Must have been less close to death than the others they have studied. The coloring is phenominal.
