AN unusual catch was on offer to fish lovers in the region at the weekend.
A sturgeon was on sale on Teesside after fisherman Philip Walsh caught it in the North Sea.
The fish are so rare in UK waters that, by law, Mr Walsh had to offer it to Buckingham Palace.
But the Queen did not want it, so it ended up in the window at Hodgson's fish merchant, in Whitby Street, Hartlepool, over the weekend.
