Well let me tell you that the irony in The Colomber is in this detail:
“It’s the fish that sailors fear above all others . . . .”, the first option. We know this because at the end of the story, it was revealed that the fish was only after Stefano because it was tasked to give him a pearl for good luck. Hope this can help you
