Coming soon to your inbox: Tsunami fish

An email currently doing the rounds contains photos of strange deep-sea fish that were purportedly washed up in Phuket after the tsunami. An alert reader informs me that it's pure fiction but the pictures are so captivating that they've spawned a new urban myth.

The Discovery Channel might call these creatures "living fossils" or "monsters from the abyss" but, to the rest of us, they're just seriously ugly fish and you wouldn't want to see one staring up from your dinner plate. They probably end up in economy fish fingers.

The one with the impressive teeth appears to be an angler fish but I couldn't name the others. When UBC screens yet another rerun of The Blue Planet, I'll have to pay more attention this time.

Thai people aren't eating much seafood at the moment because there's been a lot of talk about sea creatures feeding on the corpses of tsunami victims - rumours that the Thai government dismisses as nonsense.

I hate to pop their official bubble but, the last time I went snorkeling with a cut on my hand, the Koh Phi Phi reef fish nibbled on it with great enthusiasm.
