A split image of oarfish. The top is an old photo of an oarfish that washed ashore being held by at least 16 men, illustrating its length. The bottom image is an artistic rendering of what this fish looks like. It is long with a silvery body and dark speckles. It has a bright red dorsal fin that runs its entire length and has long, extended rays at the head and on the pelvic fins
I forgot to post a #FishOfTheWeek yesterday because I was enjoying the new wine festival, but I've got a great one to make up for it. Meet the longest fish in the world at up to 30 feet long, the giant oarfish. This fish inhabits the least explored part of our world, and we know little about it
