    Swordfish 7R479 : 7r4c2=7r4c5-7r79c5=[7r9c3=7r9c7-7r7c9=7r7c23] => -7r8c2; Claiming(7)B8 => -7r79c5

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
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  7     2     18    |  468   4689  489   |  1489  5     3     |
 |  89    4     5     |  3     2     1     | *789  *78    6     |
 |  189   6     3     |  7     5     489   |  1489  2     48    |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  148  @178   2     |  48   *1478  5     |  6     3     9     |
 |  16    3     9     |  2     16    478   |  5     78-4  78    |
 |  468   5    *78    |  468   39    39    |  2    *478   1     |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  5     178   1478  |  9     478   2     |  3     6     478   |
 |  2     78    6     |  1     3478  3478  |  78-4  9     5     |
 |  3     9    *478   |  5    *478   6     | *478   1     2     |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 71 eliminations remain

Subsequent moves as traditional fish:

Code:
finned Franken Swordfish r489\c25b9 w/fin cells r79c3  =>  r8c2<>7
               Swordfish r269\c378                     =>  r7c3<>7

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;

Coloring (7)

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