				JC: an interesting Jellyfish!
 
 
Your cells can also be used in what ronk would (probably) call a Jellyfish with a remote fin cell. Since I almost never recognize the presence of a remote fin cell, seeing it was a surprise.
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		   Sashimi Jellyfish r2469\c3578 w/remote fin cell r4c2
 
 (7): r4c2 - r6c3 = r6c8 - r2c8 = r2c7  =>  r5c8,r8c7<>7

Subsequent moves as traditional fish:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  finned Franken Swordfish r489\c25b9 w/fin cells r79c3  =>  r8c2<>7
 
               Swordfish r269\c378                     =>  r7c3<>7

The big fish were in even less danger from me than from Peter.    |

				I found this puzzle to be a definite challenge; four steps was my best effort. I did find some involved steps that were fun but scotch at dawn is a little crazy.........
 
 
Here is a set of four that does the deed.
 
 
Kite (7) with pivot b5; r8c2<>7
 
 
axy-wing (18-9) vertex (18)r1c3 with fin (48)r1c7; r2c7<>9
 
If fin is true: (48)r1c7-(1)r1c7=r1c3-als(1=47)r79c3-(7)r6c3=r6c8-(7=8)r2c8-(8=9)r2c1;
 
 
axy-wing (18-6) vertex (18)r3c1 with pseudocell pincer (68) in b2q92 and fin(4)r1c5; r5c5<>6
 
If xy-wing is true: (6=1)r5c1-(1=8)r3c1-(8=9)r3c6-(9=6)r1c5;
 
If fin is true: (4)r1c5-r789c5=r8c6-(4=7)r8c7-r7c9=r5c9-r5c6=(7-1)r4c5=(1-6)r5c5;

				I'm withdrawing my solution, as it appears a mechanical error was made. I can't do it based on Danny's grid above.    |
