The ministry of fisheries also has a good Fish ID section. They provide clear photos and regulations of most commonly caught fin fish.

One word of warning, the regulations are sometimes out of date or plain wrong. I have contacted fisheries about the errors I found but they never responded.
Was at the wharf catching some yellowtail for bait then saw the rod flicker as if I had bites then just went dead. Eventually another yellowtail got hooked and reeled it in.
On the bottom hook was this weird looking fish and was wondering what kind of fish this is.
When I got it up on to the wharf it didn't even flap around.. just lied there.
