                                Approximately 99% of all flatfish, including Dover sole, are born with eyes on opposite sides of their head and swim upright, only to undergo a rapid metamorphosis during which one eye migrates to the other side. This remarkable species of flatfish does indeed possess both fins and scales, a fact important for both marine biology and dietary considerations.
