He went fishing, took out a strange fish and then ate it – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

A Norwegian fisherman became famous in social networks for taking a striking, prehistoric fish of the North Sea.

"It took me about 30 minutes to get it out of the water because it was 800 meters deep"said Norwegian Oscar Lundahl, a fisherman and fishing guide.

"It was quite surprising, I had never seen anything like it before, it just looked weird, like a dinosaur."added the 19-year-old.

He thus evoked the strange fish that he caught believing that it was a blue halibut, a species of the Atlantic that could live to 2,000. meters deep.

However, it was one of the companions of the Lundahl excursion that identified the dam as a member of the Chimaeras Monstrosa family, a shark-like species.

Just after the tail, it is also given the nickname ratfish, because of its similarity with these rodents.

This species usually lives in the depths and a specimen is rarely captured.

"Despite his ugly appearance, it was really delicious," said Oscar, who said, "It's a bit like cod, but tastier."
