A Chinese fisherman is £300,000 richer today, after selling a 176lb fish to the highest bidder. The anonymous fisherman caught a Chinese Bahaba (otherwise known as a Giant Yellow Croaker) off the coast of Fujian last week, and huge demand for the fish pushed it into the stratosphere.
So why was this fish so valuable, and does it put it in the fish haul of fame?
