but different species

 

Edit: Did you know when flounder, halibut etc are first born they swim upright like normal fish and as they grow the eye migrates to the same side as the other one and they start to lay on their side until they are "flatfish"

Not many left

The swan river used to be full of them, plate sized too but got fished out.

Used to get a lot in the sound as well, have caught one of simular size but over 10 years ago.

Biggest one i have seen in many years, tasted awsome very fine flesh.

Don't know if halibut are related (not an expert tho )
