Red Herring? Nah, probably a pollack.

100% a Pollock. I caught a 2lb one in Loch Pooltiel , Skye last night.

The angle of the photo doesn't aid identification. Pollack have a longer lower jaw. The fish in the photo appears to have a slightly underslung lower jaw; more like a small codling.
The shape of the haed is also fatter than I would associate with Pollack; which are sleek and elongated. The head shape of your fish does appear to be short and stocky, which is more Cod-like. But the photo angle is not ideal for ID purposes :0)
On the positive side you didn't blank *perfect*
