More seriously, anyone know anything about this fish? It has two pair of pectoral fins which separates it from older fish families, like salmon and trout, but that still leaves a huge number of species to distinguish it from.
I apologise for the glare from the tank. I just noticed it at a sashimi restaurant by the bus stop and had to shoot it.
UPDATE: friends at the talk origins google group have identified it as a sea robin, or close relative, the Red Gunard. Thanks, Mel, Dana and John.

I'm not an expert, but it looks like a catfish of some kind.
Thanks John.
I think the barbels are too far back on the body. I usually expect catfish barbels around the mouth.
Also, this is a salt-water fish.
I'm not saying you're wrong, mind you, just that I'm skeptical. I'm a big fan of your posts on TO.
