A gigantic gourmet fish, one of the UK's favourites, had to be moved to a restaurant aboard a forklift after it was caught off the coast of Wales last week.
The 70kg halibut, believed to be up to 60 years old, was landed off the Western Isles and sold to Knights restaurant in the town of Mumbles.
The South Wales Evening Post said the fish was so enormous it had be transported to restaurateur Nick Knight's eatery by forklift.
An onlooker was quoted as saying: "It should serve up enough portions for a few days to come!"
