SIR: I certainly won't be rushing down to Bolton Fish Market to admire the sun fish (BEN page 5 October 25). It surprises me that imports such as this are allowed.

Mark Hayton is correct. It is a spectacular rare breed and would have been happier left swimming around Lanzarote.

Fish don't smell in the sea.

They smell as they decay. Surely there are enough animals to eat without resorting to rare breeds.

Sun fish and chips... what next?
