It's well know that all British fish can be classed as either bib, pollock, or wrasse. Someone once raised the issue of dolphins and seals, but as DanE pointed out - they're not fish - they're witches.

Failing that there is a book called "British Sea Fishes" which is quite good.

This one can be useful if you have an idea up front of what you are looking for. Not so good just for browsing though.
