The 10 Ugliest Fish
published September 30, 2009
There's always more fish in the sea, or so they say. Unfortunately some of the fish are tremendously ugly. So ugly, that I cannot help but admire how nasty looking some of these fish are. Here are 10 of the nastiest, nightmare inducing fish that I could find.

#10 - Human Face Fish - This Korean hybrid put together 2 mediocre fish and produced this ugly fish with a face that strikingly resembles humans. Since I learned about this fish a couple years ago, it actually appeared in a couple of my nightmares. You can find a video of one .

#9 - Sunfish - I am so hesitant to place this magnificent beast on this list because of my love for them, but from pure aesthetics, they're enormous hulking masses of flesh. There is no up and no down for them so you'll see them sidways, diagonal and in all sorts of weird positions.

#8 - Viper Moray - This eel is another stuff of nightmares. Eels are pretty scary and nasty on their own, but with huge ass fangs and a temperence to match it puts this at #8.

#7 - Snakehead Fish - Picture an ill tempered, floating head that eats all the time. Is it Pac-Man? No, it is this snakehead fish that can live on land for 4 month by wiggling from point A to Point B. These guys destroy habitats. Being at the top of the food chain, they have no enemies, except for me.

#6 - Wolf Fish or Seawolf - These fish, despite their fiendish appearance, will not attack you, unless you pull it out of the water and it will try to rip the nearest chunk of flesh. In Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia, these fish are called Stonebiters, due to their habit of biting stones apart.

#5 - Lumpfish or Lumpsuckers - Curiously enough, these fish are also nicknamed Stonebiters, but not because they eat rocks, but because they suck on it so hard that it becomes almost attached to rocks. Despite their grostesque tumorous appearence, they are a tasty fish when prepared correctly.

#4- Angler Fish -You've likely seen many different types of this species, but the one I'm talking about is the deep sea ones that are just about the scariest damn things in existence. They have the lure that pretends to be a dying fish to lure other things right into it's mouth. How much uglier can fish really get??

#3 - Goblin Shark - Named after foul tempered, mischievous creatures that are often grostesque in appearance, the goblin shark lives up at least to the grostesque part of it's namesake Goblin. It's almost as if God decided to let Matt Groening design one of his sharks, and this is what he came up with. Not surprisingly, these are from Japan, where 62% of the weird shit of the world is from.

#2 - Batfish - Finally we have a fish that's most 'female,' and as such we give the batfish points for at least trying to look attractive. But the fuzz totally ruins the lipstick, not to mentioned its other ungodly deformed features. Take your ugliest girlfriend and enhance the ugliness to the max and this fish is what you get.

#1 - Blobfish - If you've seen this picture, you would've known immediately that it was going to be #1 on this list. It looks like a depressed Ziggy with Down Syndrome. The best part is that there's a good chance that we know a human or two who resembles the #1 ugliest fish in the world.
