Freaky Flounder

I needed to share my latest revelation. Flounder (aka fluke) is really weird looking. We had Fish Day last Saturday, and I spent the day gutting fish, flouring fish, steaming fish, searing fish, poaching fish, ok you get the gist. So as I’m about to filet the flounder I realize that it’s not so unlike a stingray.

The Flounder spends the first part of his life swimming happy as can be with eyes on each side of his head. Then at some point, evolution plays a big joke on this poor fish and he begins to turn sideways, with one eye migrating to the right side and starts to swim flat like a stingray. Ahhhhh!

Sorry. I had to share.
