A fishmonger was dwarfed by a rare 7ft bluefin tuna so huge he had to chop it up on the floor.

The rare fish tipped the scales at a whopping 23st at Eddie's Seafood Market, Edinburgh.

It was so big it had to be cut up on the ground because it wouldn't fit on the counter - and master filleter William Elliot, 48, who stands 5ft 5in tall, looked tiny lying next to it.

The rare fish was sold for 'thousands' to a posh sushi restaurant in Edinburgh after being filleted on June 14, which took two hours.
 

Campbell Mickel, 51, bought the rare fish from traders in Barcelona on June 10 - and said he was so excited he couldn't sleep until it arrived.

It took four men to haul the huge tuna onto the window display at the fish market.

Campbell said he would not normally advocate eating bluefin tuna but said the 7ft fish was farmed rather than caught in the wild.

It was captured at a young age and farmed in a pen in the Mediterranean until it matured before being sold.
