It inhabits sandy and muddy bottoms from shallow coastal waters to a depth of 2,000 m. It is the largest species of flounder, usually around 1 meter in length. Maximum length is 2m. The body color on the eye side is dark brownish-blue with scattered white spots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Its flesh is rich in vitamin A, and its liver is used to make liver oil. Until the early Taisho period (1912-1926), it was caught in large quantities in Hokkaido, but overfishing has led to a sharp decline in catches, and American and other frozen Atlantic species appear on the Japanese market under the name Ohy\u00f4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ohy\u00f4 has a lighter, lighter flavor than Bastard halibut (Hirame) or Round-nose flounder (Musigarei), making it a good choice for oil-based dishes such as steaks, meuniere, and fried fish. Fresh Ohy\u00f4 can be served as a substitute for<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bastard halibut (Hirame) at sushi restaurants and is surprisingly inexpensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Share this
