Hey let that go, I didn’t know Ohbamma could swim so deep, you know its him because he is flattened by the pressure and his eyes always look at you one at a time, very shifty character..
Oh well Bidens turn now..

For one thing, a flounder’s eyes are on the same side of its head.

Does anyone know if a fish that old/big is good eating.

I like eating young animals/fish myself. Tender and sweet!

I'm thinking that our FRiend Hungarian Gypsy might have a meaningful answer to that question :-)

I see two eyes on same side of head on this halibut.

I can just about guarantee that if that put that baby over a hot fire while it's still fresh the parasites will bore themselves out the top side.

Yes, you do. They're all like that.

From Wikipedia ... " At birth they have an eye on each side of the head, and swim like a salmon. After about 6 months one eye migrates to the other side, making them look more like other flounder. At the same time the stationary-eyed side darkens to match the top side, while the other side remains white."
