  • Plaice is a really delicious ivory white fish with a fine texture. It has small tightly packed flakes that retain the natural juices of the fish and mean it can marry well with many flavours.

    Plaice is really versatile, it's beautiful simply pan fried with a knob of butter or really delicious battered and served with homemade tartare sauce. The options of how you can enjoy this fish are endless.

    We should all be eating more Plaice, local stocks are in abundance, in fact, they are far higher than what the MSC describes as very sustainable levels. There is less demand for Plaice across the continent which means that it's really important that we celebrate this fabulous fish from our own shores.

    Plaice are easily recognised by their distinctive orange spots, however in the sea these clever fish will camouflage themselves, changing colour to match their surroundings. They will often live until 30 years of age or more, with the oldest Plaice ever landed being a whopping 50 years old!

    Approximately 140g.

  • Fish, may contain Crustacean, Mollusc

  • Our cooking times are just a guide. Your fish may vary in thickness, it may be warmer or cooler when it hits the pan, your oven or hob may behave differntly to ours. Use our instructions as a guide, but deploy your senses too; look, prod, listen and smell while you cook. After all, cookery should provide us pleasure as well as nourishment.  

    Grilled

    Rub the plaice with a little oil and lightly season with pure sea salt. Place the fish on a sheet of greaseproof paper in a raosting tin. 

    Place the roasting tin under the grill on the top shelf, about 10 to 15cm away from the heat. As a guide the, cook the flatfish for 8 minutes. You don’t need to turn the plaice as the heat of the grill will cook it through.

    Pan Fried

    Rub the plaice with a little oil and lightly season with pure sea salt. Into a hot pan place the fish. Cook skin-side-down for 4 minutes. Turn over and then cook on the other side for 2 minutes.

  • All our fish is caught at its best and blast frozen at the quayside. 

    Once defrosted it will be as fresh as the day it was landed. Once thawed, store it in the fridge and enjoy it within the next 2-3 days as you would with fresh fish.

  • Local stocks sit well above what the MSC classes as very sustainable levels, but demand across Europe is low. Eating British plaice supports a fishery that has more capacity than it's currently being asked for.

  • Delicate, gently sweet and ivory white, with fine, tightly packed flakes that keep the natural juices in. Mild enough to pair with almost anything.

  • A natural marking on the top side of the fish, though live plaice can shift colour to camouflage against the seabed. It's one of the easiest ways to identify plaice in the water or on the table.
