Charles and Peter with their recent catches (nice guys!) These guys are not born with both eyes on one side. During metamorphosis, one eye migrates to the other side of the body so that both eyes are situated on the upward-facing side of its body. After metamorphosis, flounder lie on one side on the ocean floor; either the left or right side might face upward depending on the species. That’s pretty freaky (freaky cool that is)… how do they know as a young fish that they need to do this to survive? The thought of such genetic programming is amazing. These fish are good eating, especially as sashimi. Catch one of these, a little 초고추장 & soju, and you have an instant party right on that boat. Just don’t eat that ray.
