flounder and dabs

[Norfolkboy]

how can you tell the difference between the 2??? also i notice alot of flat fish come out with green on them, does this mean they're ill and cannot be eaten? :?

[steve devon]

never seen one with green on them unless its seaweed :?

dabs are a lot smaller and up your way they are light colour i think

flounders have a rough bit on their head and are normally fatter too


i never even caught a dab
i love em but still never ad 1

[Norfolkboy]

i thought that was what they are like, always get them the light coloured one's! :lol:

[steve devon]

down here dab are dark but up there they are light sandy colours

dont know how i know this much about them and have never caught one :?


good with the flanders though
