The order of flat fish contains at least 4 families, 1)Left-eyed Flounders (incl. our Summer Flounder) 2)Right-eyed Flounders (incl. our Winter Flounder) 3)Soles (including our Hogchoker) which have rounder faces and weaker jaws than the above 4)Tonguefishes. Hogchokers were so named because they were regularly fed to hogs, which had difficulty swallowing them.
