Giant tropical fish lands in Iceland

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

A massive mola mola, or oceanic sunfish, was caught near Reykjavik, Iceland last weekend.

This mola mola, which belongs to the largest species of bony fish in the world, weighed in at two tons. The mola mola is usually found in warm waters.

The fish was dying before fishermen pulled it from the sea.

The Oceanic Sunfish is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world, despite the fact that its meat is known to contain neurotoxins that can cause paralysis or death.
