Exegesis
The spatial phrase eis ta dexia mere tou ploiou {εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μέρη τοῦ πλοίου | eis tà dexià mérē tou ploíou} narrows the action to a precise location; the plural mere is idiomatic and still points to a single side of the boat.
In context — John 21:6
But He said to them, “Cast the net over on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find.” So they cast it, and they were no longer able to haul it up because of the great multitude of fish.
