A forklift was used to carry a 133kg shark to fishmongers in a northeast England coastal town.

Fisherman Howard Locker and his crew landed the porbeagle shark at Whitby harbour on their trawler named Emulate, Whitby Gazette reported.

Steve Boocock, of Sandgate Seafoods, paid GBP300 (USD565.17) for the nine-foot long shark.

His son said it took an hour to bone the shark and cut it into loins.
