Fish of the family Bothidae have both eyes on the left side of the body.
Tips
usage
Chinese flatfish terminology splits by which side the eyes are on: 鲆 (píng, left-eyed) for Bothidae/Paralichthyidae vs 鲽 (dié, right-eyed) for Pleuronectidae. A handy mnemonic fishmongers use: 左鲆右鲽 ('left-píng, right-dié').
