About European plaice

European plaice is a flat marine fish with both eyes on one side and a distinctive orange-brown upper surface. It is sold whole, in fillets or as portions, fresh or frozen. The flesh is pale, lean and delicate; skin, bones and trimming differ between whole fish and prepared fillets, affecting edible yield.

Its flavour is mild and lightly sweet, and cooked flesh flakes easily. Plaice is often pan-fried, baked or grilled, with gentle cooking helping preserve its tender texture. Frozen fillets may be glazed or otherwise handled before sale. The precise cut and whether it is raw or cooked matter when describing the ingredient, since a whole fish is not equivalent to boneless fillet.
