Rare orange fish

bizarre orange colored fishThis weird looking fish is called a “Pineapple Fish” at the fish market in Ormoc City.

This fish has large bony scales and whiskers that resemble those of a fresh water sturgeon.

It didn’t look like it had very much meat on it but the vendor quoted me 120 pesos ang kilo when he noticed my interest.
