July 13-17 is Flounder Week!

We have a very friendly winter flounder in our Portsmouth Touch Tank. At feeding times, he has even been known to eat right out of your hand!

Winter flounder is a type of flatfish. In the Gulf of Maine, it is the most common shallow water flounder. It can be distinguished from the summer flounder because winter flounder have eyes on the right side of their bodies and they have no teeth.

If you would like to see this week's featured creature for yourself, come

visit our touch tank this Wednesday-Thursday from 8:30 am - 2 pm at 315 Market St!
