    British waters fish ID book, which one?

    Hello,

    Which is the best British waters fish ID book to get? (via Amazon.co.uk if poss). Mainly fish but a bit of the other stuff would be good too.

    Thanks,
    MFF.

    Thanks for the recommendations.

    A big difference in price £10.50, Naylor, to £33, Helmut, on Amazon. (or £121 2nd hand!!!)

    I have a few Helmut books already so I know they are good, but I may go for the Naylor which will leave me £20 to buy AIR.

    I'd go for Naylor, plus a Collins pocket guide to help with all the stuff that is less often seen and isn't in Naylor.

    Do these book's come like a train spotter's guide, so that you can tick them off when you see the fishy/sea weed etc?

    Are they waterproof as books get very soggy after a bit in the sea?

    All you really need to know is:-

    Edible or Non-edible.
    On the botttom and digging

    The Naylor book has arrived. Amazon.co.uk.

    It's non-edible.

    have you seen what an hour in an acid bath does to most squidge, why would you do that?
