∙ 15y agoYes. Back in 1972 it was discovered that the tip of the sailfish fin contained a special form of Mercury that gave a precise reading in thermometers. Since then the fish has become highly endagered. Good question though because during the Clinton administration the use of mercury became restricted due to high costs and health concerns. Scholars predict Sailfish might experience a comeback by 2018.

Do sole fish have fins and scales?
Sailfish have fins, which they use as wings or sails. I have heard conflicting reports from various people who have real life experience, regarding the scales. There are several varieties of sailfish. It could be that some varieties have scales, and others do not. Both of my sources, which conflict with each other, are credible. However, each source lives on a different continent, and may be talking about different species of sailfish. Better safe than sorry; assume sailfish aren't kosher unless you can inspect the scales for yourself.
