A group of divers recently made a remarkable discovery when they came across a
massive deep-sea fish known as the Russell’s oarfish, which exhibited bite marks
along its long body. Believed to have been caused by a cookiecutter shark, these
round bitemarks added to the intrigue surrounding the fish, often referred to as
the ‘Harbinger of doom.’

The Russell’s oarfish was spotted near the ocean surface, leading the divers to
speculate that the large fish was close to death. Diving instructor Wang
Cheng-Ru, who captured images of the oarfish off the coast of Ruifang, Taiwan,
explained that it likely ventured into shallower waters due to its deteriorating
condition. Wang, with years of scuba diving experience, mentioned that this was
his first encounter with an oarfish.








Measuring approximately two metres in length, the injured Russell’s oarfish
bears a resemblance to sea serpents due to its size and shape. In Japanese
mythology, oarfish are considered as harbingers of earthquakes and misfortune.
This belief gained attention following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
when a number of these rarely seen fish washed ashore in Japan between 2009 and
2010.



However, it is important to note that the Ecuadoran Geophysical Institute stated
in August 2022 that the myth linking oarfish to earthquakes has no scientific
validity. Despite their association with natural disasters, oarfish are
fascinating creatures. They are among the longest fish in the ocean, capable of
reaching lengths of up to 17 metres (56 ft) and weighing over 200 kgs (441 lbs).
Oarfish have a scaleless body with a slimy, silvery protective coating called
guanine. Their dorsal fin starts between their eyes and extends to their tail.

These adaptable fish can be found in most of the world’s oceans, excluding the
polar regions, thanks to their ability to tolerate various temperatures. Oarfish
inhabit depths of up to 1,000 metres (3,280 feet), making sightings relatively
uncommon. Occasionally, they may wash up on beaches following storms or when
they sustain significant injuries. Despite their mysterious nature, scientific
studies have yet to establish a link between oarfish and seismic events.

I TRIED FRIED FISH FROM 5 RESTAURANT CHAINS & THIS WAS THE HANDS-DOWN WINNER

Just because fish offers many health benefits doesn't mean it can't be a tasty
indulgence. Pieces of salty, golden-fried fish are a perfect option for when you
want some deep-fried comfort–and many major restaurant chains offer their own
version of this beloved dish.

But which chain serves the absolute best fried fish? To settle that question, I
recently tried the fried fish at five major restaurant chains: Applebee's, TGI
Fridays, Bonefish Grill, Red Lobster, and Red Robin.

Judging fried fish really comes down to two criteria: taste and texture. The
absolute best fried fish develops a golden, crispy layer of breading on the
outside while staying moist in the middle. I did take into account that doing
this taste test at home put the restaurants at a slight disadvantage because
fried fish has the best taste and texture when it's fresh out of the fryer.

Fried fish should also be a generous dusting of salt or other seasonings to
round out the flavor. All of the chains I tried served tartar sauce with their
fish, but I refrained from dipping so that I could judge the taste accurately.
After all, most tartar sauces are so flavorful that you might not notice when
the fish is subpar.

Here's what I thought about each option, starting with my least favorite and
ending with my favorite.
