I know this isn't an underwater photo as such, so apologies for that. This fish came up in a demersal trawl last week from a depth of 100-120m, and was caught off the west coast of Lewis (Outer Hebrides, Scotland). I suspect it may be a bathyal species, as it doesn't appear in my usual ID guides, but any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm thinking this is a Boarfish (Capros aper).

Agree with cerianthus - definitely a Boar-fish. Not uncommon in deeper waters in that area and also found occasionally in shallower depths in the English Channel.
