A total blast

Hello everybody.
I'm reading Iggy Is Better Than Ever by Annie Barrows.
It’s called a peacock flounder because sometimes it appears to have bright blue-green
spots on its sides. While this is probably a total blast for the peacock
flounder, we don’t care about blue spots.
What does the writer mean by the bold part?
Thanks 🙏
If something is “a total blast” it is very fun. The bolded part means, “Although the flounder probably really enjoys having blue-green spots….”
In the sentence, the phrase "total blast" implies that the blue-green spots on the sides of the peacock flounder are enjoyable for the fish. Nevertheless, the author continues by saying "We don't care about blue spots," indicating humans don't find them particularly interesting. It seems that the author is making a comparison between the fish's enjoyment and the lack of interest from humans.
