Bryan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi I took some shots of an attractive fishmonger's slab and the owner was kind enough to tell me all of the varieties, but memory has never been a strong point and, other than the cod, I can't recall exactly what she said. Any fisherfolk out there who can help identification? I think that the ugly things are Monkfish, the large fish near the right rear is either a Brill or a Turbot, while the longer fish near the left back may be Halibut. Don't know what the rays are, was told that it was illegal to catch, I think Skate, so presumably not them. There is an interesting chubby black fish in the left foreground which, I am told, adheres to rocks, but again can't recall the name. Monkfish and Brill (or Turbot)? Don't know what the orange things are. Cod, Oysters and Monkfish, but I don't know what the fish bottom left are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The little orange chaps are gurnard, I think. Flatfish? Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Red gurnard for the red beasties. Look like dabs for the small flatfish, Dover sole for the large ones. Not sure of the ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futterwithtrees Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The ugly ones are definately monkfish, and the large dappled one with the little growth under his chin is Cod. The flat ones are Dabs or small plaice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
