That’s actually a pretty “normal” looking animal. Most of the really deep critters are horrific. Particularly with that large dorsal, that would make a really interesting mount.
would make a really interesting mount.
I totally agree, the only fish I ever had mounted was a Bowfin; primitive looking fish and one of the few fish that are not worth eating (I have tried).
This one, I’d want to talk to the taxidermist to see if I could get the meat to give it a taste, since it was fresh and when would you get a chance again?
The fin seems to deteriorate rather quickly.
