We don't see witches every day, but if we're offered some that are a good size we make sure we buy them. If you would like to pre-order, you can send an email to info@passionateaboutfish.co.uk and we will do our best to get them for you. We'll keep you posted on availability, so you can select an alternative if we can't find any<br><br>
One of our favourite flat fish, witches are a slender fish, with a really delicate flavour and texture. They can be cooked on the bone or filleted.

Use your favourite recipe for lemon sole or plaice when cooking witches. They're quite a slender fish so cook quickly, but they're utterly delicious. We like to keep them very simple, pan-fry for a couple of minutes each side and drizzle with some browned butter with a squeeze of lemon, some chopped parsley and a few peeled brown shrimps to add a little extra va-va-voom
Allow around 500g of whole fish per person - remember you will lose about 50% of the fish when it's filleted
