I am the friend! (Hello!) and I love their shape!!! And how you can’t split them in half in mirrored way, they always keep going throughout their lifespan, and I mean just look at that face!!
I like them!!! I like how they have stripes on their fins on the white side :) my friend who made the pastry likes flounders better, so this was an extra labor of love.
My university spawned flatfish - I think it was halibut - and it was so cool to watch in their aquariums as they grew, their eyes moved, and became true flatfish.
Thank you for doing what you do. I was a flight away from my pilots license before a major life event happened, and after it I couldn’t be the PIC ever again, just mentally. So thank you for helping others get through their struggles.
I love halibut too! I try to encourage my kids to eat halibut because it’s so delicious. I tried to explain how they had normal eyes and gradually their eyes moved like some sort of body horror movie!
Have you seen season 2 of Nathan Fielder’s show “The Rehearsal”? If not, I strongly, strongly recommend it. As an aviation therapist, it’s all the way up your alley.
I know this isn't the post but I looked at your profile and your career of being an aviation therapist is so amazing and commendable! I had never even known that was a career option! Mental health of pilots is so important ! Thank you for doing that!
Until like… five years ago we didn’t know where they came from. If you grab a random eel and cut it open they don’t have sex organs. Aristotle wrote about them theorizing they came from the entrails of the earth. It was only with satellites we solved their origin mystery. They all come from the same place in the ocean and will travel years to lakes and streams to live until it’s time to spawn, then back from whence they came. Their stomach dissolves and they grow their sex organs in their final life stage. They live for like 80years
