Despite the name, lemon sole isn’t a ‘true’ sole at all, it’s a flat fish! But what it lacks in technical classification, it more than makes up for in flavour.

Lemon sole is delicate and naturally sweet, with a soft, fine flake and a more tender texture than Dover sole. It doesn’t have the same firmness, but that’s part of its charm. When cooked gently on the bone, the flesh lifts away beautifully and retains a lovely, moist finish.

Our larger lemons are a perfect size for two to share and are wonderfully versatile - superb simply grilled whole with butter and capers, or carefully filleted for a more refined presentation.

This is an understated, elegant fish that delivers quiet luxury without the Dover price tag.

Did you know…?
Lemon sole gets its name from the lemon-shaped marking near its head... not from any citrus flavour. Like megrim and witch, it’s a flat fish rather than a true sole, but it remains one of the most consistently delicious fish we land around the UK and is highly prized by chefs and home cooks alike
