Man buys fish from market, gets extra helping of alienlike creature
Rick Beattie finds creepy parasite in seabass

It may look like something dreamed up by Ridley Scott, but this creepy-crawly creature was found inside a sea bass from a Tesco grocery store in Belfast, Ireland. Rick Beattie bought the fish, and when he started cleaning it, a pale-colored louse fell out of its mouth. According to sources, it's a symbiotic parasite, which destroys a fish's tongue, attaches itself in its place and eats everything the fish tries to consume.

Terrified to your very core yet? Us, too. A spokesperson from Tesco said: \"We have asked Mr Beattie to retu the product, so we can begin an urgent and thorough investigation with the supplier.\" We suspect the supplier may be a planet far, far away. [Source]
