A big fish washed ashore in Sliema earlier today, surprising bathers out to make the most of the summer weather.
Times of Malta reader Joseph Damato sent in photos of the giant creature as its carcass drifted towards the shore close to Sliema Point Battery.
Marine biologist Alan Deidun reckoned that the fish was most likely a tuna. He noted that the tuna fishing season was ongoing and that the St Paul’s Bay tuna fish farms were not so far away from the Sliema coastline.
