One of the largest halibut caught off the coast of Scotland was recently bought by a local fishmonger for almost $1,400.
The halibut, which was 8 feet long and 4 feet wide, weighed about 287 pounds (130 kg) when it was caught off the Outer Hebrides, an island chain off the cost of Scotland.
Scottish trawler Aquarius, which usually fishes for cod and haddock, caught the halibut, according to SWNS.

Armstrong’s Fishmongers in Edinburgh, Scotland, bought the 287-pound halibut for about $1,379 (£1,000), SWNS reported. According to the news agency, the fish will be cut into almost 100 portions.
Though it is a huge halibut, it is still about 8 pounds lighter than the largest halibut caught off the Scottish coast.
