sealord > 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.
File No. 18-533

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.
