| The peacock sole (Pardachirus pavoninus) is a flatfish characterized by its distinctive appearance, marked by spots that resemble peacock feathers on its eyes and body. It is a toxic species with pores along the base of its dorsal and anal fins that secrete a substance with potential shark-repellent properties. This sole lives on sandy seafloors in the Indo-Pacific, often burying itself in the sand to ambush prey. A simpler preparation where sole fillets are baked in a dish with melted butter mixed with lemon juice, parsley, and other herbs, then garnished with paprika. |
