Do sole fish have fins and scales?
Sailfish have fins, which they use as wings or sails. I have heard conflicting reports from various people who have real life experience, regarding the scales. There are several varieties of sailfish. It could be that some varieties have scales, and others do not. Both of my sources, which conflict with each other, are credible. However, each source lives on a different continent, and may be talking about different species of sailfish. Better safe than sorry; assume sailfish aren't kosher unless you can inspect the scales for yourself.

Do fish have a lateral line system?
The lateral line is a system of sense organs; neuromasts situated along/in the lateral line detect movement and vibration in water. The system is important in schooling and predatory behaviour, as well as in general for spatial awareness. It allows detection of movement outside of the range of vision, or in conditions that reduce visibility. Blind fish will orientate towards movement in the same way as fish that are able to see, but disruption of the lateral line also disrupts the response to movement.
