The olive flounder (ヒラメ, Hirami) is an uncommon fish that can be found in the ocean. It appears all day at any time during the year. It is a member of the flatfish group. This fish is a lighter brown than the dab and also shows two eyes. It sells for 800 Bells at Tom Nook's store.
Donating to the museum
As with all bugs and fish in the Animal Crossing series, the olive flounder can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers. During a donation, Blathers will tell the player a bit about the donation. Below is what he has to say.
In Wild World
Blathers has this to say about the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: Wild World:
- "For some time, I was convinced that olive flounder tasted of olives. It turned out that it was a rather elaborate joke played upon me... I should have known there are no such things as flounder olives, either!"
In City Folk
Upon donating the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Blathers will say the following:
- "Olive flounders are masters of self-transformation... who, I'm told, can grow to almost 40 inches (a meter) long. That's like some sort of underwater bath mat! It's a good thing you caught this one while it's still young!"
It can be found in the tank at the back of the aquarium, hiding underneath sand, with other ocean fish.
In New Leaf
The information board in front of the tank that holds the olive flounder says the following:
- "Olive flounders are rather flexible whitefish that have both eyes on the left side of their body. They can reach three feet in length and are commonly mistaken for dabs, a close relative. When young, they have an eye on each side, but as they age, their right eye migrates to their left side. These carnivorous fish can change color to camouflage themselves on the seabed as they wait for prey."

New Leaf

- "Olive flounder–BOY, are they tasty! In fact, I'm just gonna go ahead and scarf this guy down right very second! I can hardly wait!"
