"Beware, belt fish looking at you" Top 5 Page for this destination Essaouira Favorite Tip by JLBG

Essaouira Favorites: 46 reviews and 59 photos

 
 

Favorite thing: This is indeed an amazing fish. Its body is long and thin as a belt. It can reach 1,20 meters long. As it lives at high depth, where light is scarce, it has strange huge eyes to catch every bit of light ! It really seems looking at you !
Its scientific name is Trichiurus lepturus and is named in English Atlantic Cutlassfish, Largehead Hairtail or beltfish.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
