I hope this is appropriate to post here! I live in NYC and my dog found this washed up on a beach. It seemed to be a once living thing as she was sniffing it. Could this be some kind of dried up rotting squid? If you zoom in, you can see where an eye would have once been? It was about 18” long.1yr ⋅ Olive121820 ⋅ r/marinebiology

The orange roughy(Hoplostethus atlanticus) is a slow-growing deep-sea fish that may live more than 150 years, and individuals may not reach sexual maturity until they’re 30~40 years old.
