    Anyone here can indentify this strange looking fish found washed up on the shores of Cayman Brac?

    Its not a hoax. It's some kind of grenadier, Family Macrouridae.
    Or a Rattial fish.

    Kind Regards

    Hi JC,
    It looks like the angler fish's family. They are from deep waters( like those that come with a suspended bulb on their head to attract small fish ).
    Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.
