Wild Plaice is a classic British flatfish, prized for its delicate flavour and soft, flaky 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 at the Brixham Market auction, our plaice is sourced from day boats fishing the South West coast. Its characteristic orange-spotted skin and light, subtle taste make it a favourite with both chefs and home cooks.

Quality & versatility: With its fine-textured flesh and mild flavour, plaice is ideal for quick, simple cooking methods. It performs beautifully when pan-fried, grilled, or baked, and pairs well with fresh herbs, lemon, and butter.

Serving inspiration: Pan-fry whole plaice in butter and capers for a classic dish, or bake with lemon and seasonal vegetables for a light, healthy meal.
