Summer Flounder
Thin, delicate white fillets with a sweet, mild flavor and very low fat. Prized on the U.S. East Coast; superb pan-fried in butter, stuffed and baked, or prepared as ceviche.
Species Overview
Brown Trout
The brown trout is native to European rivers and has been introduced worldwide. Renowned for its wariness and intelligence, it is the ultimate quarry for fly fishers. Larger specimens become nocturnal, feeding primarily on smaller fish.
Summer Flounder
The summer flounder, or fluke, is a flatfish that lies camouflaged on the ocean floor. Born with eyes on both sides, one eye migrates to the left side during development. An ambush predator, it explodes upward to grab passing prey.
