So, what is the Coalfish? Well, many people mistake them for a Pollock as they can grow to similar size so rather than copy information from elsewhere I'll link it below.
So what's the difference between a Pollock and a Coalfish? Here's an easy way to tell them apart, the Coalfish has a straight lateral line while the Pollock is curved.

Now, the lateral line on the Pollock has a very pronounced curve relative to the Coalfish. The colour of the Coalfish is not consistent, depending on age and environment, so watch the lateral line.
