Want another {just for the fun of it} "Week Ender" question?

WOW! Three EXCELLENT answers from Peter from Arizona, but still not the answer we're looking for. Thanks for making a VERY good guess and for setting such a good example for the rest of those who try to answer.

Another VERY good guess by the Ghost, but still not what we're looking for. Being from Alaska, I'm familiar with those barn-door size halibut. But that is just the nick-name for a really big one. On the other hand, the name we are looking for really IS the legitimate name of this saltwater specimen. Good luck!

SPECIAL NOTE: WOW! You are all doing a GREAT job, and except for one of us getting a little testy, I am VERY impressed. However, at this point, none among you have given the correct answer to the question. I WILL be giving it in the morning. But here's a few more clues, or rather an explanation to the main clues already given.

First off, notice I said this creature was a "...large denizen of the deep..." and in fact, it is the largest species of its size, growing to as much as 6 feet long and weighing over 40 pounds.

Second: take note that I didn't say "run into", but rather said, "...run IN to down on the farm."

I'll give you the answer in the morning, and after I do, I will replace this question with one that is probably a bit easier. I'm sorry if I made this one tougher than you all might like. But since I knew the answer BEFORE I asked the question, I assumed some of you would too. If a question (for fun) doesn't cha

THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS: (Latin name = Raja laevis) otherwise and commonly known as the BARNDOOR SKATE. Surprisingly (or not) its wings are often made into a product sold as scallops. It is an Atlantic ocean species common to the New England - Mid Atlantic region and found from from South Carolina to Newfoundland.

Thank you to all you great sports who played along and made such good guesses. Even tho' no one guessed the correct answer, I WILL choose one of you as BEST for having put forth such a great effort. I appreciate your participation.
