What is it?
Turbot is a flatfish with a black-brown skin with knobly bits. It has a good-flavoured firm flesh, on a par with Dover sole.
Preparation Options
You can have the head off and the fins trimmed to cook it whole, or have it filleted. The average fish will produce two fillets, there will be a few small bones at the top of each fillet. If there are large fish these can be cut into steaks.
Is it sustainable?
There is a general absence of stock data, insufficient to evaluate stock trends.
