A fish's claim to fame

A Swedish fish factory worker who discovered a salmon with a perfectly shaped crucifix on its belly is planning to take the fish on a national tour. Lars Ludwigson spotted the fish, which has black scales resembling a cross, on a food processing line. Ludwigson said he originally intended to eat the salmon in a “blessed dinner,” but a flurry of interest persuaded him to put it on public display. “But I must conserve it in some way,” he said. “Putting it in alcohol might upset some Christians, so the most biblical method must be to salt it.”
