Fish tale

Bluefish are fast, hungry hunters that race about in loose groups, like a team pressing high. Every autumn they swim right through Istanbul, home of Galatasaray. Please hold it gently: its teeth are sharp.

Island story

On Futbol Island the bluefish can be caught at:

Drop-off Ledge: A rocky ledge on Summit Isle’s south-east shore, where the sand stops and the sea drops away into deep blue. Cod and haddock nose along the edge, and now and then a little shark patrols it.

Size on the island: 30–90 cm.
