Dab

The common dab is an edible flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish native to shallow seas around Northern Europe, in particular the North Sea, where it lives on sandy bottoms down to depths of about 100 metres (330 ft).

Dab is an edible flatfish sold commercially, mostly as a milder, more sustainable alternative to other flatfish. Cooks treat it like other small flatfish.

The common dab is a marine, bottom-dwelling flatfish of the northeastern Atlantic, from the Bay of Biscay up to Iceland and the White Sea, including the North Sea and western Baltic. It lives over sandy bottoms down to about 100 m and is caught commercially, especially in the North Sea.
