Hi Ally
Ah, as it is known down at my local fish and chip shop - Aphanopus Carbo, a bathypelagic cutlassfish of the family Trichiuridae found in the Atlantic Ocean between latitudes 69° N and 27° N at depths of between 180 and 1,700 m.[1] Its length is up to 110 cm, but reaches maturity around 80 to 85 cm.
The black scabbardfish is a fish with a body that is extremely elongated, with body depth 10.8 to 13.4 times in SL. The snout is large with strong fang-like teeth. Pelvic fins represented by a single spine in juveniles but entirely absent in adults. Color is coppery black with iridescent tint. The inside of the mouth and gill cavities are black. Juveniles are believed to be mesopelagic from 100 to 500 m.
Or in other words - above copied from Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia....ck_scabbardfish
Evidently a delicacy in Madiera where it is eaten with banana.
As you say, a weird looking fish
