A fisherman from Faafu Dharanbooddhoo island on Saturday caught a six-foot long fish not normally found in the Maldives, local media reported.
Ahmed Faruhadh said he was shocked when he found the six-foot, three-inch long ribbon fish. It weighed five kilos.
“I have never seen this kind of fish. It is very thin and flat. I am completely shocked to see it,” he was quoted as saying by Mihaaru.
Another islander said the fish was tasty but had very thick skin. The creature was displayed to the people of Dharanboodhoo before they all had a bite of it.
