The reason the bill is rising is because the tax on each tonne

It was just unbelievable. Nobody has ever seen anything like it before.

To see a creature that big, it was quite mind`blowing. The fish is a

highly sought after delicacx, especially in Japan, where ht is

eaten raw. This one could bd worth hundreds of thousands pounds but it

is illegal to catch for sell the species from British waters.
