Quiz result...... and thank you all for playing. If there were prizes I'd give you all one, but the biggest would be for Amy "MY EX" haha

OK, so I might have been a little sneaky here....... The actual answer is Angler Fish (Lophius piscatorius). Called such as it has a "rod" that dangles an artificial lure in front of its huge mouth to trick fish into its strike zone.

The name Monkfish was originally given to an Angel Shark because its shape resembled a monk's hood on his "habit".

The Angler Fish does not look like a "habit" at all, however, somewhere back in time, the fishermen of the North Sea started calling Angler Fish "monk", and fast forward to now, Angler Fish is widely recognized as Monkfish....... even if Monk was a nickname for another species of fish completely....... so it could be said Monk is a nickname of a nickname, haha.

Picture 1 Anglerfish now knownas Monkfish
Picture 2 Angel Shark, was know at Monkfish now only called an Angel shark.

Soooooo you are ALL almost correct hahaha ###x

Evening everyone,

Thank you for all the support recently in the shop as well as with takeaway Tuesdays.....we really appreciate everything and are humbled everyday by you guys choosing use for your fish or takeaways....it mean the world. The season has started to change and Dad is hopeful in catching a bit more than the last few months. This year the weather did not help the local fishing at all so dad really needs things to perk up....fingers crossed.

Below is a link to our GOOGLE BUSINESS PAGE where you can leave a review.....I cant express how much these reviews help to push our little business out to the interweb thingy....and we ALWAYS reply to each review. If you wish to support us this is one way you can that really helps....same with Facebook reviews.......the modern world is a cascade of online data of which reviews are a huge part.......so what might be a few words from you results in real tangible benefits to use......so whilst the kettle boils click the link and leave a review.....it doesn't take long...promise, doubt the kettle will even of boiled and you would be done.
