The list of left-eyed flounders is pretty short. The only one not on this page of my book is fantail sole. The big mouth, symmetric body spots, body shape, and size all point to bigmouth.

Dabs vs. Butts
No Teeth on Sand Dabs
A rounded tail on the Dabs A straight lateral line on the Sole/Sand Dabs...the Halibut has that hook or bend in the upper part of the line... Here are a couple of screen grabs from my last FHS seminar...
