What is a "flounder"?

A flounder is a type of flatfish that is characterized by its asymmetrical body shape and ability to change its color and pattern to blend with its surroundings. Found in both saltwater and brackish environments, flounder are bottom-dwelling fish known for their distinctive swimming style where they glide along the ocean floor. They have both eyes located on one side of their body, typically the top side, allowing them to lie flat on the seafloor and ambush prey. Flounder have a mild and delicate flavor, making them a popular choice for culinary preparations such as frying, baking, and grilling. With their unique adaptation and versatile taste, flounder has become a valued species both in commercial fisheries and recreational angling.
