Its called the fur-bearing trout and looks like a fish in a fur coat. Wont find this on my plate . still not sure if this is actually real

See attachment

Seems to be an art exhibition rather than a real living specimen to me...

Even if it is real... Why would you need a fur coating in the sea?

I sure hope that's what it is! Imagine the smell?

Well, nothing too different than hake smell I think. 

Wont find this on my plate

I could actually try it, but without fur of course. 

The fur is there to "tickle your taste buds "! 

Looks completely fake to me. .LOL. ...
That or a fish infected with a very bad case of fungus.
 

It's definitely fake , look it up

In that case definitely won't try it. 

Definitely fake, imagine reeling this in!

Glad it hear its fake lol. Would definitely be one of those "throw it back in" fish

The hair would cause drag to the fish as it tries to swim!Fish Don't normally have hair follicules!

To be honest, I dont see any way how the fur could be of any advantage underwater. And any feature, if being a disadvantage, gets wiped out by the evolution:
From time to time there happens a genetic defect making the fur missing (either on some spot or at some age within the reproduction cycle). That missing drag would make that individual to strive better, so make him more likely to survive and reproduce, passing the "missing fur gene" to the next generation andso on.
See many sea mamals, all evolved from land ones, which likely had some fur before going into water.

Another thing to remember...nearly all fish are cold-blooded. They don't need to 'stay warm' or anything like furry animals do.

Well, for smaller animal it is the only way to not spend all energy they get from food on just keeping warm. Normally most living forms are limited by the energy income, so can not afford to send it on just keeping warm. Either they grow insulation (that is very limited underwater - the fur need gas to work at all, so only the layer of fat remains; but the fat needs a lot of energy to build up, so it must do double duty as at least the energy reservoir), or they live with body temperature close to the ambient.
Only huge animals (dolphins are practically the smallest warm blooded animals living in water) may get away on the fact the surface isnt that big compare to the overall size of the animal, so the waste heat of all the fiziological processes is enough to keep them warm, sufficing with the fat layer as an insulation.
