Padi,

I thought you might find this photo of a coelacanth interesting.
We went on a fishing trip a couple of months ago , about 280kms South of Dar Es Salaam, when the local fishermen brought it into the lodge

BTW:Fishing was excellent 18 Yellowfin (25-70kgs); 24 Dorado (15-30kgs) and couple of Wahoo and countless King Mackerell.

Have you ever tasted one? Are they meaty or bony?

Rockrolex,

All coelacanths caught in Tanzania must be sent to the Dept of Fisheries in Dar Es Sallam.
University's from all around the world would give their left bollock to have a specimen.
(The coelacanth was believed to have been extinct since the end of the Cretaceous period and only discovered in the late thirties before that there were only a few fossils of them in museums)

Dar Es Salaam is that Tanzania,that coelacanth is the nearest thing to a dinosaur left on this world.Never seen one in the flesh, and that was a remarkable catch,but would have been better left in the sea.Have caught a few yellow fin myself very strong powerful fish.Was doing a bit of diving around Malindi Kenya,we had a days fishing caught Dorado think the locals
called them Fuelussi or something like that and boy they can go and jump.

I was aware they had previously been considered extinct. But they seem to be showing up in such numbers these days that I thought they might start to become a food fish.
