How would you like your record-breaking, 6ft, 9 stone monkfish? Stuffed, please

A RECORD breaking monkfish with an enormous fanged-mouth big enough to swallow a person is to be stuffed — not for dinner, but for display.

The beast from the deep has been saved from the pan and is in deep freeze while plans are finalised to put it on show in the Natural History Museum.

The female was caught by David Sharkey, skipper of the Clogherhead, Co Louth-based Rose of Sharon trawler, on the Labadie Bank, 80 miles south of Cork Harbour last Thursday.
