A Furry Fish in a Pool?

Marco Polo visited a city called kinsi, which i believe corresponds to the modern day city of hongjo. Messer marco saw the head of this fish with his own eyes in a certain temple of the idols. But it sounds like he must have at best heard about the river drying up and then the hairy fish a hundred paces long being eaten by people who died from it. This is an account written by mister rusticello, rusticano of pisa, based allegedly on the accounts of marco polo.
