What is a "dab"?

A dab is a flatfish species that is commonly found in the coastal waters of the Northern Hemisphere. It has a distinctive diamond-shaped body and both eyes positioned on one side, allowing it to camouflage itself on the sandy or muddy seabed. Dab is known for its delicate and flaky white flesh, making it a popular choice for seafood lovers. It has a mild flavor that pairs well with various culinary preparations, including grilling, baking, or frying. Dab primarily feeds on small crustaceans, mollusks, and other bottom-dwelling organisms, using its flattened body and well-developed senses to locate its prey. This versatile fish is prized for its taste, texture, and versatility in cooking, contributing to its popularity among both home cooks and professional chefs.
