halibuts
Big bottom dwellers
Halibuts is the plural of halibut, a large flatfish prized for its mild, firm white flesh.
These bottom-dwelling fish are among the largest of the flatfish family, with Pacific and Atlantic varieties.
The halibuts we caught weighed over fifty pounds each.
The plural halibut (unchanged) is equally common.
