A garfish, Belone belone, captured in Guernsey waters and bought from a local fish retailer for £1.00 on the 12 August 1995. The fish had a total weight of 380 grams.

Guernsey recreational fishermen refer to these fish as 'long-nose'. This fish harbours some copepod skin parasites. One can be seen attached to the skin just behind the gill cover and another can be seen just infront of the eye on the lower jaw. Garfish possess pale green bones. They can be filleted but they are usually steaked. The steaks can be rolled in batter or breadcrumbs and fried.
