Sole (fish)

Sole are flatfish, which means they have a super cool trick! They have two eyes on just one side of their head, usually the right side. This helps them sneak around on the ocean floor. They are often called 'flatfish' because they are flat like a pancake, not round like many other fish. The most famous one is the Dover sole, which is a real treat to eat!

Sole like to live on the bottom of the ocean, where the sand or mud is. They can be found in different parts of the world, especially in Europe. Think of them as little ocean floor dwellers, hiding in the sand. They are not usually found swimming way up high in the water column. They prefer to stay close to the seabed, where they can find yummy snacks.

People all over the world love to eat sole! In Europe, the Dover sole is super popular and is considered one of the tastiest fish. It's often cooked in fancy restaurants. It's a special kind of fish that many people enjoy as a delicious meal. So, while they are amazing to look at, they are also famous for being a tasty food!

Sole are masters of disguise! Because they are flat and live on the ocean floor, they can bury themselves in the sand to hide from bigger fish that might want to eat them. They also use their flat shape to swim along the bottom. It's like they have a built-in camouflage suit to stay safe and find food.
