While many people know the story of the little mermaid, few are likely aware of the kind of fish she’s supposed to be. In this blog post, we will explore what flounder is and how it can be used in cooking. We’ll also provide some recipes that use this delicious fish.
What is Flounder?
Flounder is a type of small, flatfish that can be found in both salt and fresh water environments. Some common names for flounder are whiting, soles, sand dabs, and rockfishes. Flounder are closely related to turbot and sole. They can be found on the east coast of the United States, from Florida to Maine.
Flounder have a silvery body with dark spots along the sides. They have a protrusion on their head called a rostrum that is used to suck up food from deep under the water’s surface. They range in size from 3-4 inches long and can weigh up to 2 pounds.
Some popular varieties of flounder include spot, lemon, goldeneye, blackfinned (Summer), blackspot (Winter), and amberjack (OCEAN).
What are the different types of flounder?
There are three main types of flounder: the flatfish, the sole, and the flounder. Flatfish have flattened bodies with a smooth surface that allows them to hide in crevices and under rocks. Sole have a more rounded body shape with a slightly protruding head and prominent dorsal fin. Flounder are in the middle between these two groups, with a slightly tapered body and broad dorsal fin.
