About Flathead

Flathead is a common name used for fish in a variable class; the label does not identify a particular species or confirm a single regional usage. It may refer to whole fish or to fish flesh, depending on the product context.

As food, it can be sold or prepared in different forms. Appearance, texture, and flavour depend on the species meant, the cut, and handling or cooking, so a specific body shape, flesh description, or culinary use should not be assumed from this name alone.
