About European turbot

European turbot is a large flat marine fish with a broad, rounded body and pale, firm flesh. It is sold whole, in steaks or as fillets, fresh or frozen. Skin and bones are present in whole fish and some cuts, while trimmed fillets represent a different edible portion. Its flesh holds together well during cooking.

The flavour is mild, rich and savoury, with a dense, moist texture when properly cooked. Turbot can be roasted, grilled, baked or gently poached. Whole fish and boneless fillets differ in yield and cooking behaviour, and frozen products may retain additional water. A product name does not by itself show the precise cut, sourcing or processing, all of which can matter for comparison.
