FlatFish Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 One of the most widely known ways to categorize flatfish is by which side of the fish is the eye-side. Generally, left eye-side flatfish are called summer flounder, and right eye-side flatfish are called winter flounder. A quick internet search lead me to believe left eye-side flounder can also be called fluke. I am trying to find the evolutionary advantages that lead to fluke having eyes on the left, and flounder having eyes on the right. Right now, all I can find is fluke are more abundant in warm water. Why is the left eye-side more advantageous in warm water? I performed this research with a nagging question in my head, "Yeah, but which one tastes better?" If you don't have the opinion on which eye-sided fish is better suited for this world, at least provide an opinion which one is better battered & fried. I'm hungry... Quote Link to comment
