| Product Details | Although there are plenty of topics that nutritionists and health care professionals tend to disagree upon, the health benefits of fish are pretty much universally recognized and accepted across the board.

Besides being lower in valuable nutrients than other kinds of fish, there are also plenty of concerns about the safety of sole fish, both in terms of health and the environment. Since being added in 2010 to the seafood red list of fish sourced from unsustainable fishing practices, consumers have become increasingly aware about the potential drawbacks of this species of flatfish. |

Sole fish is a type of lean flatfish that belongs to the Soleidae family. They are found primarily around the coasts of Europe, but certain kinds are also found in the waters of the Americas as well.
There are many types of sole fish, but the Dover sole fish is the most common and widely available. It has a flat appearance and is typically brown with a white underside. It has two small eyes on the right side of its body and can grow up to 28 inches long. The sole fish dwells close to the ocean floor and is a bottom feeder, meaning it feeds on crustaceans and shellfish found at the bottom of the sea. However, there are several concerns about the safety of eating sole fish, plus its sustainability and the potential ecological and environmental impacts of its controversial fishing methods.4 Reason to avoid :1.
