British Dover Sole

Dover Sole is prized for its taste and texture, it is simply one of the most show-stopping, luxurious species from our shores. We love to cook Dove Sole under the grill with a good pinch of pure sea salt and a simple caper butter. Certainly with this fish, the more simple, the better. What makes Dover Sole so sought after is its incredible taste and texture, it is without a doubt the most flavoursome of all the Sole family. It is delicate and sweet with a firm texture and small flakes. These days Dover Sole stocks are incredibly well managed thanks to a successful Sole Recovery Plan as well as the 'Trevose Bank Closure' (active closure of areas of the North Cornish coast that protects spawning sole from winter to spring). The species is in abundance on our shores and is rated 2 by the MCS and Cornwall Good Seafood Guide. Dove Sole is some of the best seafood from our shores and is a real treat that we should celebrate. Dover Sole is commonly found throughout the coastal waters of Devon
