The eight-foot fish with the tell-tale fin was spotted near swimmers in Illetas close to Magaluf just after midday on Saturday. It came and went within five minutes, sparking pandemonium among those who had seen it as well as those who hadn’t but were caught up in the drama caused by bathers racing out of the water.
