Looks like part of the fish's intestinal system, sometimes regurgitated
when one of these deep water fishes is pulled up to the surface.

Yeah, I think you are right. Reason enough to not fish for these
magnificent creatures.

I take it this one won't qualify to be in the "catch 'n release"
program?

Caught a Goliath Grouper a bit bigger than that once.
We ate it. But they don't have a dhu.

As in Dhufish.

A Dhu is a Scottish elf or the Sword of Ali, the Fouth Caliph and
son-in-law of Mohammed. :)

The first I knew - the second I found.

Google is the anti-Christ.

I've been very interested in the Dhu elves for years, and can perhaps
add to your knowledge here.
The Scot legends of the Dhu elves, which somewhat predated the
historical era Shakespeare used as a basis for "MacBeth", were always
depicted in etchings as quite handsome, leading to a family near
Dundeen taking the name Dhufact, which in the contemporary Dundeen
dialect meant "handsome face."
Some centuries of language change corrupted that to Dooface by the
early 18th century.
Circa 1840 the family had fallen into disrepute due to a few
generations of criminality, mostly highway robbery.
Duncan Dooface was the last member of the clan bold enough to carry
the family name, and was arrested by the Laird of Kincaid in September
of 1853, in a particularly stupid attempt to pick the pocket of the
Laird himself.
He went to the gallows in October of that year.
His surname was mistakenly transcribed by the law clerk into the
records.
And so the word "doofus" came to be.
No google needed.
