Looks like a coalie, purely based on the eye. Pollack have much bigger eyes, no?

Agree with ya and a bigger mouth, look at the small dainty mouth on it in picture 2

Youve started something here Seanie! Its mouth is closed in the 2nd pic, slanting back and down exactly as a pollacks does (yip a coleys does too but doesnt go so far). That 2nd pic, pollack all the way, not a sniff of coley!! Am I still posting here??? Sorry.

They are two nice pictures you put up donal first one is a nice example of a White pollack , and the second one is a very clear picture of a nice Black Pollack ,I want first prize if this is a name these fish competition
