  mmmm.
  
  berry intriguing.
  
  can you imagine how many million species we have not discovered, at the bottomest of the bottom of the oceans?
  
  and that ever elusive coecelanth [can't spell]... we prolly even have those ferocious sea monsters, just that they've been hiding.

  talking about strange fish.. here's one of my faves
  
  the Giant Mola Mola or Ocean Sunfish...
  
  
  
  seems to be one giant fish head
  
  it weighs about 3000 pounds and is about 11 feet fin-tip to fin-tip

  apperantly, now is the season to see the Sunfish in Bali.
  
  My dive buddy saw it last year around this time.

  monkfish is being overfished now.. and yah.. did a search and they said it's a "poor man's lobster" and is pretty nice to eat.. only the tail part can be eaten which means about 2/3 of the fish is inedible.. it's almost all head and most of the head is the mouth.. therefore "allmouth"
  
  as for the mola mola, would be nice to actually see a live one one day
  
  i read somewhere that in a giant aquarium in Kyoto, they have.. who knows? maybe one of these days, i may actually take up my sis's offer of coaching me to certification as a SCUBA diver and go see these fish
