Spanish Sole

 The Dover Sole or Solea Solea is one of the most streamed and widely available fish in Europe.  It is similar to the Halibut/Turbot bit smaller and tastier.

Dover Sole fish presents a mild, sweet flavor with very firm, small flaked flesh. It is not your common white fish flavor. It is truly different. It is similar to fish like red snapper, pollock fish or Alaskan cod in terms of texture.

It is a treat to pan-sear.

SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE

While not considered an endangered specie, sole has been over-fished and some of the major ecosystems  (such as the English Channel or Irish Sea) could see their populations go extinct.

As a result we have decided to work with one of Spain's prestigious sustainable farms that follows the right practices for Sole to grow and taste well.

THAWING INSTRUCTIONS

Keep frozen until ready to use. Thaw slowly under refrigeration. Cook this naturally delicate product from a thawed state.

DO NOT leave soaking in water, it will affect the flavor and texture of the fish. DO NOT leave thawed-out fish in vacuum sealed bag for more than 24 hours. Consume within 24 hours for best results.

COOKING IT

For cooking Spanish sole, you'll need fresh sole fillets, olive oil, lemon wedges, salt, and pepper. Start by seasoning the fillets with salt and pepper, then sear them in a skillet with olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Transfer the fillets to a baking dish, squeeze lemon juice over them, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
