Well I thought it was until I read this information.
Also known as the Barbican Prawn, this metal sculpture is in fact an amalgamation of local marine life from the past and present. Its head is that of an angler fish attached to an upper body consisting of a lobster’s carapace (shell) with accompanying claws and the lower body and towering fin of a John Dory. The creature stands with cormorant feet upon a pole, which its plesiosaurus tail curls around.
A fascinating sculpture. The light is right to show off the various metal oxidations and the shapes of the various parts of the "marine life" and it is nicely silhouetted against the gray sky.
