The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a relatively large flatfish found in the Atlantic, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
Turbot are fished for food, and have a delicate flavour. They are farmed in a number of countries, and are quite expensive in restaurants.
When caught, professional fishermen often make small cuts through the bone near the tailfin. This lets the blood out and keeps the meat white. Storing the Turbot upside down also helps in keeping the underside of the fish white.
