Strange sunfish

- Adele Brand

On Britain's south-western coast, an apparition greets those looking down into the water: a fish as pale as the moon, as round and flat as a dustbin lid, lying on its side as it apparently basks in the sun.

A beast too fabulous for reality, too disproportionate to exist, the ocean sunfish might have floated into British waters straight off a medieval seafaring map.
