The flounder (Platichthys flesus) is a flatfish belonging to the plaice family. It is a relatively small, flat fish common in the North Sea, Wadden Sea, rivers and estuaries. It resembles plaice, but has a less pronounced color and a somewhat rougher skin.
You can recognize flounder by:
An often sharply palpable edge on the dorsal fin.
Flounder is smaller than plaice and has a less pronounced color pattern.
A brown to greenish-brown back with no conspicuous dots.
A white belly side.
Small rough scales on the dorsal side.
Eyes on the right side.
Flounder lives in shallow coastal waters, estuaries and brackish water. You find it in the North Sea, Wadden Sea, Eastern Scheldt and rivers such as the Rhine and Meuse. It can survive well in both salt, brackish and fresh water.
Flounder mainly eats:
Bottom animals
It seeks its food on or just above the bottom.
Worms
Small shellfish
Shrimp

Flounder are best caught with:
Preferably on sandy or muddy bottoms
Flounder are often caught as a by-catch when fishing for plaice or sole.
Bottom lines with worms or ragworms as bait
Hook size 4 to 2
From the beach, piers or in estuaries
Flounder is one species within the flatfish.
Flatfish is a collective term for several species, such as plaice, sole, dab and flounder.
Flounder is thus a type of flatfish, as are plaice and sole.
Flounder is often fried or deep-fried as a whole fish because it is a rather thin fish. You can also stew it or incorporate it into soup. Its firm flesh keeps it nicely whole during cooking.
Yes, flounder is considered sustainable because it is widespread and resistant to fishing pressure. Especially locally caught flounder from the North Sea or Wadden Sea is a responsible choice. Check for MSC or similar labels.
