A fishmonger took delivery of this huge six-foot halibut tipping the scales at 121kg, the equivalent to almost 20 stones. The catch of the day was brought by fishmonger Clare Welch, in Edinburgh, and it took four people to lift.
It was caught in the North Sea on Monday and taken to Peterhead in northern Scotland where Clare purchased the fish at market. The halibut was then transported to Welch Fishmongers on Tuesday where it will be divided into 450 portions.
Fishmonger Jimmy Mac, who is about 5ft 10in, was pictured alongside the whopper to display the sheer size of the sea creature. The portions will now be delivered to restaurants around the Scottish capital, as well as sold in the shop.
