WEEKEND FUN: Name this fish

weekend funWell, the weekend is here and it has been quite a week on the political scene here in Dominica.

So take some time to “chill out” a little bit and take part in our latest edition of Weekend Fun.

This time around we are asking you to take a close look at the fish in the photo.

Have you seen it before? What is it called?

Give it a try and enjoy the weekend.
