LEARN
ABOUT FLOUNDER:
It's a "flat" fish that spends most of its life lying and swimming
along sandy bottom shores, inlets, flats & grassy areas. The
flounder's eyes are both on the left-side of the body and it can
camouflage itself very well. Most flounder are between 12 and
15 inches long, but the females can reach a length of 25".
Adult flounder enter shallow water at night where they lie on the
bottom, partially buried & wait for prey.
Adult flounder will leave the bays and head toward the gulf for
spawning during the winter months but some remain behind and spend
the winter inshore. The "Fall Migration" is characterized with
a large concentration during the migration period. Large
quantities of flounder heading out to the gulf is known as the "Fall
Flounder Migration". Except for the month of November and part
of December, flounder can be fished year-round. Texas Parks
and Wildlife Service closes flounder fishing when they are spawning
so that they can replenish themselves and rightfully so.
Flounder is one of the tastiest fish and sought after by many!
The meat is white and it can be cooked just about any way you
like....grilled, smoked, broiled, stuffed and broiled, baked,
pan-fried and their are delicious and provide great nutrition too as
they are low in cholesterol for the healthy-minded! It's a
great source of protein and among a long laundry list of benefits,
it can lower your chance for heart disease as well. Summer
flounder are also known as "fluke" (found in the Americas) or
"sole" which is widely found on the coasts of Europe.
