Wild Dover sole is one of the finest British flatfish, prized for its delicate flavour and firm, flaky texture. Landed fresh through Brixham Fish Market, it is a true classic of South West seafood, always delivered in perfect condition and never previously frozen.
Why it’s special: Carefully sourced from the North East Atlantic, Dover sole from Brixham is renowned for its exceptional quality. Each fish is freshly landed at the market and selected by our skilled buyers before being prepared to order by our fishmongers.
Quality & versatility: With its elegant flavour and firm white flesh, Dover sole is a favourite of fine dining. It can be pan-fried, grilled, or oven-baked, holding its shape beautifully while staying moist and tender.
Serving inspiration: Cook simply on the bone with butter, lemon, and fresh parsley, or serve filleted with a classic meunière sauce for a restaurant-style dish at home.
