Sourced from the deep, icy waters of the North Atlantic, our Shetland Whole Plaice is a standout choice for seafood traditionalists. At a generous 16-20oz, these are significantly larger than your average plaice, offering thick, succulent meat that stays incredibly moist when cooked on the bone.
Plaice is celebrated for its fine texture and subtle, sweet flavour. By keeping the fish whole, you preserve the natural juices and oils, resulting in a much richer dining experience than a simple fillet can provide. It is the perfect "impressive" meal that remains surprisingly easy to prepare at home.
Why You’ll Love It:
Chef’s Tip: For the best results, cook it simply. Dust the skin lightly with seasoned flour and pan-fry in foaming butter with a few capers and fresh lemon. Alternatively, roast it whole in the oven with cherry tomatoes and olives for a Mediterranean-style traybake.
