Its fluorescent green, parasite-covered eyes are said to hypnotise its prey, & its meat is so riddled with poison that, when consumed, it sends people into a hallucinatory trance. Armed with little more than their wits & a tiny rubber boat, Morten Strøksnes & his friend Hugo set out in pursuit of this enigmatic creature.

Above all, it is a love song to the sea, in all its mystery, hardship, wonder & life-giving majesty. ...
