Fish tale

A starry flounder has tiny star-shaped plates in its skin, and its eyes can be on the left side or the right. It lives as far away as Japan, whose women won the World Cup in 2011.

Island story

On Futbol Island the starry flounder can be caught at:

  • Sunset Shoals: Shallow sandy shoals on the south-west shore, south of the stadium, where the sun sets over the sea. Flatfish lie hidden in the sand, crabs scuttle about, and leopard sharks glide over the shallows.

Size on the island: 30–91 cm.
