Would you like chips with that?

Found the remains of this fish on Whitley Bay beach last Tuesday. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks to Davy T it's now been identified as a Rays Bream (Brama Brama).It is a common bream in southern European waters, less common in northern seas. An open sea fish which migrates northward according to water temperature (really?).

    Make the most Tim, they are rare as. A deep water fish with a population off Iceland. Mike Hodgson found one at the beginning of December at Ross. See my blog for the 5th I think...
