I know how hard it is to try and identify fish from books or photos online where the fish have been dead for hours. When spearfishing we see the fish in their natural environment which can look drastically different to when they are out of the water. I have put together this video to help new and old divers to be able to identify the common target species you will find in the UK and Northern Europe. Don't know a thick lipped mullet from a golden grey? This is the video for you!
