Turbot

The turbot is a flatfish that lives in the chilly waters of the Northeast Atlantic, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. Known for its large size, it’s a popular fish on dinner plates across Europe. Unlike some lookalikes, true turbot aren’t found in the Northwest Atlantic.

• Turbot are bottom-dwelling fish, often found in marine or brackish waters.
• They are sometimes confused with Greenland halibut in the Northwest Atlantic.
• Black Sea turbot are now considered a separate species from true turbot.
