Experience the absolute pinnacle of Scottish seafood with our Shetland Whole Plaice. Sourced from local day-boats landing daily, this flatfish is prized for its exceptional freshness, firm texture, and sweet, buttery flavour.
At a generous 16-20oz, these are prime, substantial specimens perfect for a spectacular restaurant-quality main course. To make cooking at home entirely effortless, our expert fishmongers have done all the hard work for you: this fish comes fully trimmed, pan-ready, and with the dark black skin completely removed. By keeping the fish whole on the bone, you lock in all the natural juices during cooking, ensuring the delicate white meat stays incredibly moist and succulent.
Why You’ll Love It:
Chef’s Tip: Because the black skin is already removed, this fish is primed for pan-frying. Dust the white flesh lightly with seasoned flour and cook in a hot pan with plenty of butter and a splash of olive oil for 4–5 minutes on each side. Baste constantly with the foaming butter, and finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
