In our fjord there is mostly sharks and rays, with a lot of small haddocks and whitings. Actually it can be kinda boring to only get these species. I want something different. ANd now that I've finally caught the Ratfish, I can move on further out in the fjord for some flatties

It appears that some websites call that a Ratfish, and others call it a rabbit fish.
The photo below is from a site calling it the rabbit fish.
Do you know if they are the same fish, and just have different names.If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing tackle
