tarbh-dallaig

sm Blue shark (prionace glauca). It is the shape of a dogfish, but of great size. I saw one of them in my own boat and its liver filled a barrel. Its head was hanging over the gunwale on one side and its tail over the gunwale on the other side, the total length being about 14 feet. When we took out its liver it never moved — (DMy). The oil taken from the liver of this fish is greatly prized for medicinal purposes in the Western Isles.
