Weighing in at over 16 stone and measuring 6ft in length, it is the biggest fish of its kind that Stockbridge fishmongers Armstrong’s has seen in 26 years of running their business.

The monster fish is a halibut and was caught from Rockall, a remote and uninhabited granite islet situated in the North Atlantic Ocean.

And as you can see from the pictures, the fish looks as if it could feed a family of four for about a fortnight!
