Hoodwinker Mola (Mola tecta)

Description

Washed up sunfish (~1m length), someone has cut it open to get samples.

Apparently its the second one this year at Kaitoreti.

Fantastic how thick the skin is. The skin feels incredibly tough and very much like sandpaper.

Based on how thick and durable the skin is and how big it is, I think it'll linger here for a while

Not the brightest crayon in the box, this sole was captured in about a metre of water by my snorkelling husband placing an open catchbag over it.
It was delicious for breakfast.
