Glyptocephalus zachirus

Also known as Threadfin Sole, Witch Sole

Rex sole is a type of flatfish that lives in the northern Pacific Ocean. Rex sole has a mild flavor and a delicate texture that makes it perfect for frying, baking, or broiling. You can enjoy it with lemon, butter, herbs, or your favorite sauce.

Rex sole is also good for the environment, as it is managed under strict U.S. regulations to prevent overfishing and protect its habitat. Rex sole is part of a diverse group of flatfish that includes halibut, flounder, and turbot.

Did you know that rex sole can live for up to 30 years and grow up to 23 inches long? That's longer than some dogs! Rex sole is also known as Witch Sole or Threadfin Sole, because of its long pelvic fin that looks like a thread.

Sustainability status for this species is published by NOAA Fisheries.
