Edinburgh fishmonger shares picture of giant six-foot halibut caught in North Sea

An Edinburgh fishmonger has shared footage of a whopping six-foot halibut, which recorded a weight of 121kg on the scales.

Clare Welch, who runs the family business, Welch Fishmongers, got the mammoth catch on Wednesday, July 6, and said it took four people to help lift it after it was caught in the North Sea earlier in the week and taken to Peterhead where Claire bought it from.

She then transported it to their store on Tuesday and posted footage of a staff member sitting down next to it to compare sizes, which gained a lot of traction on social media.
