Curved or straight lateral line is a dead giveaway

Think it may b a pollock Some 1 told me a good way to tell a coley from a pollock is coley tail has a v in end and Pollocks is flat n tha looks flat to me

Looks different to this 1

martin i said the 3 ways to tell are, pertruding bottom jaw, lateral line and the prodominent v in the tail,

laterel line is the clear feature tho

I know it can be hard to tell coalfish and Pollack apart especially when juvenile but the protruding lower jaw and lateral lines are the signs, as well as the big eyes. Couple of pics I took last year with a coalfish amongst Pollack might make it easier to tell when they're side by side.

The D shape on the lateral line is a giveaway.
Looks a good size if your card is A4.

It's a dab mate.

Spot on (if you'll pardon the pun)

A thought dabs where small see thru ones never mind tho al keep trying lol

Just because a flattie has orange spots doesn't make it a Plaice. I've caught hundreds of Dab and Flounder with orange spots as well as a fair few Plaice where the orange spots were very faint...
