Wolf Fish



This is a wolffish or an ocean catfish. The baddest of the bad.

They eat mostly shellfish and have been known to chomp on the occassional rock or two. They have huge fang-like teeth in the front that wear down with use from crushing all of those lobsters and crabs. As you can see from this picture, this one hasn't been eating very well. Also, the whole roof of their mouth is one giant plate of molars that will crush anything in their path(s)....including the odd finger or wrist. I have seen a 15 pounder turn a 2-inch closet pole into splinters with one bite, so I learned early on not to fuck with them.

For some reason, people say that they are a "Poor Man's Lobster" when cooked right. I think that they taste like "Poor Man's Feet".
