The tadpole fish, Raniceps raninus, is an unusual looking member of the codfish family, gadidae. It is caught occasionally in Guernsey waters, sometimes from the shore and sometimes from boats. It lives on or near the bottom and has been seen in St. Peter Port marinas. It has a huge mouth for its size. The head is dorso-ventrally compressed but the body is laterally compressed, so although it is a member of the cod family, it has little value as seafood because the body contains so little muscle.

Anglerfish or monkfish, Lophius piscatorius, is sometimes caught by trawlers in Guernsey waters. File No. 12-28
A garfish, Belone belone, captured in Guernsey waters and bought from a local fish retailer for £1.00 on the 12 August 1995. The fish had a total weight of 380 grams. Guernsey recreational fishermen refer to these fish as 'long-nose'. This fish harbours some copepod skin parasites. One can be seen attached to the skin just behind the gill cover and another can be seen just infront of the eye on the lower jaw. Garfish possess pale green bones. They can be filleted but they are usually steaked. The steaks can be rolled in batter or breadcrumbs and fried. File No. 130895 12-30 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

It was landed in Alderney and submitted as a Bailiwick of Guernsey angling record. I photographed the fish on 14 September 2007. It had a total weight of 70 grams and a total length of 304 mm measured to the tip of the lower jaw. File No. 120907 996 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
This Atlantic saury, Scomberesox saurus, was captured by Mark Platt while fly fishing over Banc du Nord in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Channel Islands on 24 September 2011. Atlantic saury are usually captured in ones and twos at this time of year but they are not recorded in Bailiwick of Guernsey waters in every year. 240911 0989 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
