It is a glyishuf, native to the Indian Ocean, off the Spanish coast.
Its an Oarfish. The longest bony creature in the sea and believe to be the source of many sea monsters report.

It is Merlion CB!
It is a deep sea ore fish that is very rare, and will surface to shallow water around usually after earth quake. Taiwanese called this 地震鱼。 Aka earthquake fish.
It's look cause people to relate it to 海龙王。 The elder fishermen said earthquake shocked the sea and rocked palace of 海龙王 cause it to surface - usually also die after surfacing.
It may be true that bottom of deep caves got disturbed injuring the ore fish causing it to drift towards shore.
Chinese dragon are related to the feature of these ore fish.

'Giant herring' found in Sweden
May 11, 2010

STOCKHOLM - A 'GIANT herring' measuring 3.5 metres has been discovered off Sweden's western coast - the first such fish found in the Scandinavian country in more than 130 years, a maritime museum said on Tuesday.
The Regalecus glesne, known as the King of Herrings or Giant Oarfish, was found dead in the small fishing village of Bovallstrand on Sweden's west coast, about 90 kilometres from the Norwegian border.
'Down at the water, there was something big floating. At first we thought it was a big piece of plastic. But then we saw an eye. I went down to check and saw that it was this extremely strange fish,' Kurt Ove Eriksson, the passer-by who found the specimen, told daily Svenska Dagbladet.
The rarely seen regalecus, the world's longest bony fish, can reach up to 12 meters. 'The last time we saw a King of Herrings in Sweden was in 1879,' the House of the Sea museum in Lysekil, where the fish was taken to, said in a statement.
'We don't know much about the species,' it said, 'but believe it lives in deep waters, at least 1000 metres deep, and many believe it's at the origin of the sea serpent myth,' or stories of mythological sea creatures like the Loch Ness Monster.
The dead fish, which was frozen at the museum, had a deep cut through its body and was missing its beautiful, typical back fin, the museum said, adding the fish might be added to an exhibit on sea monsters planned later this year. -- AFP

Kipper for breakfast every day this year, sir? Meet the 11ft herring
By Daily Mail Reporter
It certainly wouldn't fit on a piece of toast and would fill a thousand jars if marinated, but this is a giant 'herring' that washed up off the Swedish coast.
The monster measures more than 11ft and was at first thought to be an enormous piece of plastic floating in the sea.
The Regalecus glesne, known as the King of Herrings or Giant Oarfish, was found dead in the small fishing village of Bovallstrand on Sweden's west coast, about 140 miles from the Norwegian border.

Lost in the Med, the loneliest whale in the world
The rarely seen regalecus, the world's longest bony fish, can reach up to 40ft-long.
Now if that was split from tail to head, gutted, salted and cold smoked that would be one huge kipper.
'The last time we saw a King of Herrings in Sweden was in 1879,' said a spokesman at the House of the Sea museum in Lysekil, where the fish is being stored.
'We don't know much about the species but believe it lives in deep waters, at least 3,000ft deep, and many believe it's at the origin of the sea serpent myth or stories of mythological sea creatures like the Loch Ness Monster.'
