Britons struggle to name common fish, survey shows 
By Zoe Wood UK Source: theguardian 9/13/2024

Do you know Pollock from pollock or a collie from a coley? If you don’t you are not alone as new research reveals that Britons struggle to name common fish, while two-fifths admit that they have “only ever eaten it in batter or breadcrumbs”.

Over half of those surveyed had no idea that a John Dory was a spiny fish; 12% mistakenly thought “he” was a famous poet, according to the Marine Stewardship Council poll.
 

The Family Fortunes-style answers do not stop there. The poll of 2,000 adults found that 10% of respondents thought a coley was a breed of dog. Another 6% said the only pollock they had heard of was the American artist Jackson Pollock. A similar number thought that a hake was a garden tool.
