A big European flounder (Rhombus maximus) highly esteemed as a food fish. It often weighs from thirty to forty pounds. Its colour on the upper side is brownish with little roundish tubercles scattered over the surface. The lower, or blind, side is white. Called also bannock fluke. Any one of numerous species of flounders more or smaller related to the true turbots, as the American plaice, or summer flounder (see Flounder), the halibut, and the diamond flounder (Hypsopsetta guttulata) of California. The filefish; so called in Bermuda. The trigger fish. Spotted turbot. See Windowpane. Origin: F.; perhaps so named from its shape, and from L. Turbo a top, a whirl. Source: Websters Vocabulary
