Hi Guys
I netted this strange fish at my mates house on the Mandurah Canals last night. After a quick picture we released it but its got me stumped as toi what it is. I think it is some sort of a flounder or sole. Anyone have a clue to what it is? It was about 30cm long.
Cheers

Harrowed Sole
Daniel is correct - this is a Harrowed Sole. It is found only in WA. Great looking fish.
