Rush2808 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Fish ID anyone? It's about 13 inches and I don't think I saw any eyes...It's not a sole nor a flounder nor a sundial... Caught in south shore LI. My guess is a mutated fluke? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldwin Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 They're actually very common in estuaries. We get them trawling in New Haven frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icepants Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looks like something they would serve in a French Restaurant as Dover Sole at 50.00 a plate! Much more continental than White Perch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
