A couple of unusual moves for me for a total of five steps.

Quote:
(7)r4c8 - (7=1)r6c7 - r8c7 = r8c2 - (1=7)r5c2 - r5c5 = r4c5 - (7=6)r4c8; r4c8<>7,
xy-wing 12-7 with vertex in r8c2 and pseudocell 27 in r68c7,
Sashimi x-wing on 1 in r68c27,
finned x-wing 7 in r19c39,
(6=4)r7c2 - (4=7)r7c1 - r2c1 = r1c3 - (7=6)r1c9; r7c9<>6 to complete the puzzle.

This puzzle has a traditional UR that still needs two more steps to complete the puzzle. However, there's a one-stepper UR present as well.

Couldn't find a useful UR or a W on 17. I played a Type 4 UR on 78 between ERs on 1 and 7. That reduced the grid to a very easy BUG+2.

Aaaack!!!! I didn't word it properly.

After some fish eliminations should have preceeded my previous statement. Sorry!!!

Code:
 <78> UR r27c89
 r2c9=5 r3c9=2 r3c7<>2 r9c7=2  =>  r9c7<>6
 r7c9=6                        =>  r9c7<>6
 +-----------------------------------------------------+
 |  8    1    37   |  2    4    5    |  36   9    67   |
 |  37   45   2    |  1    9    6    |  34   78   578  |
 |  45   9    6    |  7    3    8    |  24   1    25   |
 |-----------------+-----------------+-----------------|
 |  2    3    4    |  8    7    9    |  5    6    1    |
 |  6    7    9    |  5    1    3    |  8    2    4    |
 |  1    8    5    |  6    2    4    |  7    3    9    |
 |-----------------+-----------------+-----------------|
 |  47   46   1    |  3    5    2    |  9    78   678  |
 |  9    2    8    |  4    6    7    |  1    5    3    |
 |  357  56   37   |  9    8    1    |  26   4    267  |
 +-----------------------------------------------------+
 # 24 eliminations remain

Replaces ...

Code:
 r27c89  <78> UR Type 4                  <> 7    r27c9

   c39   X-Wing                          <> 7    r9c1
 r27     X-Wing                          <> 7    r9c1

         BUG+1                           =  6    r9c9
