Re: how well do you know your fish
no bother
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...
plenty of pics in google images
and yip, angler fish, aka in the commercial industry as 'monk fish', in the first pic

Re: how well do you know your fish
Why do they always use the squashed beaten up examples of fish on these posters and web sites sometimes you can't really tell what they are their so mangled

Re: how well do you know your fish
13/13, but lucky guess for the sole. As others have said first one is an Angler fish
