Chicken Fish

The chicken fish boasts a pristine white hue adorned with an array of fins reminiscent of delicate feathers, lending it an elegant allure. Notably, its dorsal fin flaunts a striking hue of crimson. Distinguishing between males and females is a simple task; one need only observe the size discrepancy of their dorsal fins. Renowned for their delectable flavor reminiscent of chicken, these creatures are effortlessly caught. They exhibit a year-round reproductive cycle, typically laying eggs during the tranquil hours of the morning. Intriguingly, their eggs possess a buoyant quality, briefly drifting before finding their way back to the sanctuary of their sea floor nests. Though sturdy and resistant to breakage, these eggs yield to a well-placed cut.
