Well, according to my good friend who took this picture (thanks C!) while sailing in the Noordzee for her work has a biologist, this is not a shark but a Sunfish (ie Mola Mola). My mistake :-)

You can find more information here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Sunfish

Apparently these fishes are regular visitors of the Atlantic, and Dutch and English coasts.

They like to travel alone, and sometimes are mistaken by sharks...

It is a nice fish, after all! :-)
