A woman has shared an impressive find she came across on a South Australian beach.

Linette Grzelak was at the beach near Murray Mouth at Coorong recently when she and her partner came across an enormous sunfish.

Ms Grzelak shared a picture of the fish on Facebook on Monday.

“I thought it was fake,” she wrote.

She later clarified the fish was dead and people were astonished by its sheer size with the picture shared more than 1000 times.

Amazing looking fish. It looks like it is made out of wood.

Thats actually not the biggest.

One was seen off Sydney heads a few years ago that was 3m long

And apparently there are bigger

With the largest specimens reaching 14 feet (4.2 metres) fin-to-fin and weighing over 5,000 pounds (2.26 tonnes), the ocean sunfish is the heaviest known bony fish in the world.
