Hi Omega 3, don't eat Sunfish
. They may seem big but I believe they're mostly bone and cartilage. We see them occasionaly here on the South coast of Ireland. They're recognisable from a distance by the way their large dorsal fin waves from side to side above the water surface. I think they come on the gulfstream and they're mainly seen in summer.
A couple of years ago I photographed a pair of lumpfish in their mating/nesting behaviour. The pics didn't come out well due to milky water conditions and the camera wasn't digital so I couldn't do much to them at that time. I can say that the female was a lot bigger than the male and she was slatey blue grey, whereas he was pinky purple with pink eyes. They almost looked like different species.
