Wild John Dory is one of the most distinctive British fish, celebrated for its delicate flavour and firm, white flesh. Landed fresh through Brixham Fish Market, it is prepared to order and delivered in perfect condition, never previously frozen.

Why it’s special: Selected directly from the Brixham Market auction, John Dory is a highly prized South West catch. Its unusual appearance belies its refined eating quality, making it a favourite among chefs and seafood lovers alike. We offer a range of sizes — the 300g John Dory is perfect as a single portion, while large John Dory up to 1kg make an impressive centrepiece for sharing.

Quality & versatility: With its mild, sweet flavour and firm texture, John Dory is perfectly suited to a variety of cooking methods. It holds its shape when pan-fried, roasted, or poached, and pairs beautifully with light sauces, citrus, and seasonal vegetables.

Serving inspiration: Pan-fry fillets with butter, garlic, and lemon for a simple yet elegant dish, or roast whole and serve with a delicate white wine sauce for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
