Dried Bigscale Pomfret

This marks the end of the saga for this rare specimen known as the Bigscale Pomfret.  The unusual fish was found dead on the beach 200 yards from San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS).



In a few more seasons of exposure to the elements, this mummified fish will completely fall apart and fall of the fence.  This photograph is a lasting tribute to a rare deepwater fish.
Inspiration comes in unusual forms.
