This was the most fun for me, though I missed the big fish. Sad

I used an ER on 2 and an xy-wing to get to a point with options.

There are 2 W-wings and an xy-wing that each solve it and there is a sky, 2-string-kite and W-wing that each wound it a bit. Smile

This was a fun ride Exclamation

I started with a xy-wing, then spotted an ER which opened a Kraken x-wing (which I will not try to describe by Eureka notation) and finished with coloring and a xy-wing.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the puzzle. As for explaining a Kraken X-Wing with Nice Loop or Eureka notation, I don't recall it being done as a single chain. It was always a two-part condition, like a forcing chain (for Norm's benefit). Either the fish was true and produced an elimination, or else a chain from the Kraken fin cell produced the same elimination.

Also a fun ride for me. It started and ended with XY-Wings. In between were two colorings on 4, a W- and XY-Wing, both with pincer transport, and an XYZ-Wing.
