Edinburgh fishmonger takes in '˜largest halibut in 30 years'
A fishmonger in Edinburgh has taken delivery of the largest halibut the shop has seen in its 26-year history.
Armstrong’s, on Raeburn Place in Stockbridge, proudly showed off the whopper on Saturday morning.
The fish weighed around 104kg (16 stone) and was caught by the Banff-registered Enterprise fishing boat near Rockall.
There to show off the monster catch were Connor Laurie, Hannah Roberts, assistant mangaer David Shand, and Bruce McLaren.
Armstrong’s has a history of large halibut catches - in September 2014, a 51kg halibut was landed by the Enterprise II in Kinlochbervie.
The shop has also taken delivery of a 63kg halibut, caught in the North Atlantic and landed at Peterhead by the Sudringon.
