Turbot
The Turbot is a highly prized flatfish sought after by anglers for its delicate flavor and impressive size. Found primarily in the North Atlantic, from the waters off the coast of Massachusetts to Maine, and even as far south as Rhode Island and New York, the turbot presents a unique challenge and reward for those willing to target them. Their broad, almost circular shape and mottled coloring provide excellent camouflage on the seabed, making them a challenging but rewarding catch.
