857688 2010-02-12 20:09:00 Hi Steve L

Looks like a Piper, also known as a Garfish. Great to eat but have heaps of little bones.

Also great used live for bait.

857691 2010-02-12 20:57:00 Hmm...interesting that Prefect thinks I'm a fish expert
(as opposed to a keen consumer thereof):D

Found this site dealing with the pipefish
of British waters,

Interesting creatures: "Pipefishes, like their seahorse relatives, leave most of the parenting duties to the male. Courtship tends to be elaborately choreographed displays between the males and females."
