F*ck*ng F*l*t of Sole

Like fish? Like filet of Sole? Know what that is? And where it comes from?

A good resource for fish information is the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and they state the following:

“Some Atlantic flounder species are sold as sole; however, “true” sole only occur in the Pacific Ocean.
 
Many different species of flatfish live off the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to Florida. They’re fished mainly with trawls, a method that involves towing a net close to the seafloor. Trawls are problematic as they disturb and destroy the seafloor habitat and accidentally catch large quantities of bycatch.

Flatfish populations off the Atlantic coast have experienced heavy fishing pressure from domestic and international fleets over the last half-century. Many species are at very low levels, particularly Atlantic halibut and some populations of yellowtail flounder. Despite a management plan intended to allow flatfish populations to rebuild in the Atlantic, most are still declining. All Atlantic flatfish species are currently on our “Avoid” list.”

If you live on the East Coast, you’ve got to check your Sole consumption.
