Your LS Sea Scorpion puts you clear on top of the league. Well done.
Sorry but that picture shows a spotty flounder not a plaice. Flounders often have orange spots as well.
An easy way to confirm a plaice is by the bony lumps they have on the head like this....
Another way is to look at the lateral line which is smooth on a plaice but is a line of small hard lumps on a flounder. They are also a bit rounder in shape. Hope this helps.

No problem mate. Here are some pics that should help with your flatty id. Note the semi-circle curve in the lateral line next to the pectoral fin on the dab, the head bumps on the plaice and the rough lateral line on the flounder all very distinctive id characteristics.

Here's a great article on identification of flatfish, well worth a bookmark.

Here are some id pics for ToonboyMC (and anyone else whos interested) showing the difference between a blenny and an eelpout....
Eelpouts look a bit like a blenny and one of their common names is "viviparous blenny" but they are in fact not a member of the blenny family at all and are actually in their own Eelpout family. If you look at the pics below you can see that eelpouts are typically a lot longer than blennys (twice as long or more) and have different shaped heads being broad at the back and tapering towards the mouth. The blenny has a more flat fronted head. the example shown is the common blenny (also called a shanny). Hope this helps.
