Yeah I think its mainly aimed at the general public, most of us would get 11-13 there. There are two topics in this whole world I could go on Master Mind with and thats Fish and Star Wars. :-)

no bother 8)
only one i wasnt sure about was the witch at the end. have heard of them before but have never seen one - but the other answer options gave it away somewhat..
and those whiting are not the freshest looking! almost unrecognisable

@ corbyeire: lemon sole and dover sole completely different looking! lemon sole is round like a lemon, dover sole is a looong flatfish... :lol: plenty of pics in google images

and yip, angler fish, aka in the commercial industry as 'monk fish', in the first pic

13/13, but lucky guess for the sole. As others have said first one is an Angler fish
