So, weekend number 2 on the salt put a couple new things in the boat. Some type of flounder and a big sculpin, among other things. Can anyone tell me the exact species of these?

Looks like Pacific Sanddab and Pacific Staghorn Sculpin.

Aren't dabs left eyed?

Sculpin was about 16"

The sculpin is a Great Sculpin, Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus and is good eating.

The flounders are harder for me to tell. I mostly catch Rock Sole which have a distinctive high arch in their lateral line just behind the head.

Yeah they are, it's hard to tell from the pics but I'm guessing you noticed.

Thanks Loki. I was thinking possibly English Sole? I'm not sure that it really matters, as it's a flat fish that tastes good and isn't a halibut.
Is that all I really need to know?

Yes, these are right eyed.

Maybe try this?

  Well said.

It looks like the two fish on top eyes are opposite and different species.

Both right eyed. Just a wonky picture.
