Eat flounder
As a long-established food fish, flounder is popular with diners around the world, whether in Europe, America or Asia, and is an affordable and delicious choice.
Europe
North America is a vast country, and even the halibut caught is amazing, so I have to mention the halibut (halibut), which is well known in aquatic products, and I have to ask a question:
Halibut = big halibut?
Some small partners may simply summarize halibut as larger halibut, but in fact, halibut and flounder are different in size, tooth shape, etc.:
Halibut is a general term for several flounders from the Pacific and Atlantic flounders , especially the larger fish in the genus Quercus , and is therefore larger than most flounders;
In addition, the eyes of halibut are usually located on the right side of the body, mostly right-mouthed fish.
The lifespan of this type of fish can be as long as 55 years, and the individual weight is usually 5-50 kg and the length is more than 2 meters. The largest record size recorded was that German angler Marko caught a flounder weighing £513 (about 233 kg) in Norway that weighed 9 feet (2 m74)!
The largest halibut on record
The more common food fish in halibut are the Pacific Halibut, the Greenland Halibut and the California Halibut.
Pacific Halibut
Pictured is the Pacific Halibut, a smaller and slender fish found on both sides of the North Pacific Ocean with a greenish-brown color on both sides of the eyes and can weigh up to 213 kg.
Greenland halibut
Pictured here is the Greenland Halibut, a northern species found in the Arctic and near-Arctic waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which can grow about 100 cm (40 inches) long and is pale brown or pale black in color, but unlike most other flounders, the fish has colors on both sides.
California dental flounder
Pictured here is the California halibut, which is produced off the coast of California, with a gray-brown body, a maximum body length of about 1.5 meters, and a weight of 27 kg.

Flounder eyes: never see the sadness on the back
This benevolent brother who "lies down and looks at the world" can be regarded as a mudslide in the underwater world, and all its "fish life" stays in the "two-dimensional world", cannot understand the beauty of the three-dimensional world, and it is strange to think about it.
In fact, flounder is not born with eyes on one side, and at the beginning people also looked at the east, west, south, north and south with their eyes. Unfortunately, the flounder slowly grew up and the eyes began to "shift".
Scientists have found that this is because when the flounder body rises to 1 cm long, the development of various parts of the body is gradually unbalanced, and when swimming, it also begins to skew, the soft belt under the eyes continues to grow, and the eye that is relatively downward in position also begins to move upwards, gradually approaching the other eye, and finally the orbital bone is fixed, and the flounder has become a unique "cockfighting eye" in the fish world.
Genealogy details
Although flounder is a unique baby in the underwater world, it still has many friends. The flounder family is huge, with a total of 13 categories, more than 700 kinds of fish, and each has its own characteristics, some eyes are on the left, some grow on the right, it is easy to confuse Oh!
The eyes that grow to the left are generally called left-mouthed fish, belonging to the turbot family (scientific name Bothidae), which is divided into 20 genera: turbot, horned turbot, long-jawed turbot, turbot, etc. Each fin of this family has no hard spines, the dorsal fin starting point is located above or in front of the eye, and the dorsal fin and the posterior end of the fin are mostly not connected to the caudal fin.
The right-sided flounder, known as the right-mouthed fish, belongs to the flounder family (scientific name: Pleuronectidae), which includes 29 genera under the flounder subfamily, and the dorsal fin and caudal fin of flounder species are long and continuous, while the dorsal fin extends more towards the head. Females lay their eggs in the middle of the water, and the eggs hatch before sinking to the bottom of the sea.
