It was time to re-stock my bait freezer, not to mention my supply of Asian spices and marinades, so wifey and I meandered over to H-Mart, located just south of the Northern State on Rt. 106, Jericho. Besides dropping $160 on all sorts of foodie treats, the fish monger section had a live tank that featured these:
The first pic is obviously a fluke, and the second has a couple of "turbot" in it. I had never before seen a turbot - they look like a cross between a pug-nosed fluke and a sundial - sort of. Interesting fish to watch. All the fish in that tank were very alert and the fluke in the first pic was moving his eyes as I moved around the tank - I do believe he could see me. Too bad I didn't have a GULP! mullet ready to go. Would have been a fun "experiment."
Anyway, that fluke had to be in the 3lb class, so I guess it would cost a cool 81-bux to bring it home. Geez, I gotta raise my crew "gas contribution" fee.
