SUMMER FLOUNDER
(Paralichthys Dentatus)
Other names: Fluke, Hirame
A popular flatfish both in the United States and
overseas, Summer Flounder, or Fluke, is found in the Western Atlantic from
Maine to South Carolina. Despite its seasonal name, Summer Flounder may
be harvested year round although they do migrate to deeper waters during the
winter months.
Summer Flounder is similar to Winter Flounder in
both flavor and appearance, however, it is considerably larger in size,
averaging 3-6 lbs
( 1.3 -2.7 kg.).
Our fresh Summer Flounder is caught by trawling
vessels and is sold in its whole form. We ship to
wholesalers in both the U.S. and the Far East.
Summer Flounder is a government regulated species,
therefore, availability may be limited as the quota is filled. Please
contact us for more information.
