And this one?

 

[aquadementia]

Looks like a rock salmon

 

[kraken]

The last one looks very much like a young Red Steenbras. As for the first one, its hard to say. Maybe one of the many species of klipvis or blenny?

The first one looks a bit like a Monk fish! If it is, they are supposed to be very tasty.

I can assure you that that is definitely not a monkfish!

The monkfish is as ugly as sin and makes the above fish look like some type of supermodel!

Search the net for a pic to see how shockingly ugly they are. But, you're quite correct, they do make nice eating!

The red one looks like a Blenny of sorts ,on a bit of deka-durabolin,or depo-testosterone.::Slol,really no idea.

A young Cape Gurnard.

The first one is klipvis. They get red over the kelp and deep reefs.

"That one. The Rohman feesh, hy soek hom!".

The second fish has been scaled but the peduncle seems slightly darker like it has a red steenbras spot.
