They are very similar, but have differences. One is that the fluke, clearly a game fish, has a large mouth with sharp teeth, capable of ingesting a whole squid, The mouth on a winter flounder is tiny with less pronounced teeth. The eye configuration is a little different, too. You may be able to google comparative depictions.

Don't think you are likely to get a fluke in Boston Harbor? But you catching a flounder may also be a fluke!  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

If you get a flounder with a tarpon like mouth that's a windowpane flounder, off limits. We get about 1 a day
