Mystery Fish Washed Up in Cayman Islands.

This strange looking mystery fish washed up the shores of Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands. If you know what it is, the authorities probably want to hear from you. Link


Looks like a deep sea Rat Tail fish of the family Macrouridae. The fact that it's eyes and swim bladder are distended suggests it was line caught or surfaced rapidly.

One of my blog readers has also identified it as a rattail or grenadier. There's an article on it in Wikipedia and the picture looks like the same fish.
