I don't have a clue about what type of fish that is, but I do know I've caught both Right and Left Eyed Halibut

And here is one sort of sole that puked up a big 'ol mantis shrimp. Pretty Cool...

Eiter way, looks like a fun outing to me

Thanks for the report

Yeah, not sure, it didn't look like a sand dab. No big circles or darker areas; just a plain carpet of same color dots on him. Even after some time in the cooler, same uniform pattern throughout.

The four fillets were quite big; they stuck out ~2" from both sides of the taco shell. Maybe ~1.5" wide. Unfortunately, the meat was a little mushy, but tastey. Wasn't like sand dabs that I've had at restaurants. He did have teeth.

California halibut are one of the very few flat fish that show both right and left eyed in a single population. I worked with a flat fish expert from Norway on an experiemental halibut rearing trial at the Hubbs hatchery. We raised many batches of halibut from egg to 4-6 inches and we always saw about 60/40 left eyed to right. We have a bunch of smaller flat fish in Cali. If you dive you see more than if you hook and line. Diamond turbot, sand sole, rock sole, CO turbot, curl fin, horny head. Up in nor cal they used to sell sand dabs and rex sole fresh and super cheap. Good eating little fish. Mike
