Fisherman landed million yuan fish

A fisherman in Zhoushan is demanding 1.1 million yuan ($165,000) for a 1.6-meter-long fish he caught off the coast of the city. It took five men to haul the 48-kg fish, a type of perch, out of the sea. The fisherman, surnamed Chen, said he had not seen such a big fish in 20 years, adding that he did not think the asking price was too high. He is storing the fish in a freezer until the right buyer comes forward and said he is in no hurry to sell.
