Okay, let's move this quiz up north a bit. This is obviously a flounder, but what kind?

I'm having a hard time seeing it. It looks like it is right eyed so I will guess a winter flounder. Got any other pics?

It doesn't look like anyone is going to figure my Comet out, it's a very rare fish, the only one we saw in ten days of diving and considering our DM is writing a book on Fiji fish and he hadn't seen one in awhile either.

CORRECT!!!I'm having a hard time seeing it. It looks like it is right eyed so I will guess a winter flounder. Got any other pics?
It's the winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus. The small mouth and the right-eyeness were the tip-offs.If you think that scientific name is strange, it actually makes perfect sense:
Pleuro=side
Nectes=swim
There's a flounder off the coast of England, the plaice, whose generic name is Pleuronectes. "Pseudo" means like and "americanus" refers to America, where it's found.
The reason it's called the winter flounder is that it spawns during the winter. It's also called the blackback flounder in some regions.

Actually saw it in about 35 feet of water. Not to far from where I saw the short nose batfish.
