FISH FOOD OF THE WEEK

There are some members of the FOTW team who would rather die than smell, let alone eat fish. Even the most die hard fish muncher would surely turn there nose up at this - dried squid on a Thai fish market. Yuk!

More Thai delicacies soon ...

Tobago Showcase - Sand Diver

Probably the ugliest critter to be featured on FOTW so far. Thanks to the FOTW team who recently visited Tobogo for snapping this one. If you have pictures of any ugly fish then please send them to the FOTW fish photo editor for consideration.

Tobago Showcase - Barracuda

Once again we are indebted to FOTW friends Katy and Gareth who have again been to far off places and brought back some stunning underwater images. This monster Barracuda is the first image in our Tobago showcase.

Emperor Angel fish

The Emperor of the Angel fish world. Unfortunately the buggers never stay still long enough to get a good picture, so the pursuit for my definitive Emperor Angel fish picture goes on......and while I am out getting it you will have to settle for a very slightly blurred image.

It is widely believed that this fish was named after the renowned dive school in Sharm el Sheikh. Crap, if it was it would be called a camel angel fish.

Snoozing fish

This charming character snoozzing patiently on a coral head typifies FOTW enthusiasts who are eagerly awaiting another photo from the recent FOTW trip to Thailland. Surely the scanned postcard of a turtle posted on FOTW recently was not the only image collected from a 2 week trip.

Bannerfish

Usually inseperable, these two bannerfish look like they have had words and are going their own seperate ways.

Bob the Crab

In the interest of species diversity, because we do not have a FOTW crustacian section as yet, but mainly because a two & a half year old called Mathew asked very nicely, here is a fantastic picture of 'Bob the crab'
"He was unceremoniously fished out of a rock pool on Filey Brigg last week, for Matthew to gawp at, before being carefully replaced in the rockpool. He then sat there giving us a very hard stare (see photo) before hiding away at the side of the pool out of reach of nosy beachcombers! " reports Auntie Cathy.
Well, speaking on behalf of the crab world, I am not surprised you got a hard stare. Just as well you had not found a Sting Ray to show young Mathew.
