About Lemon sole

Lemon sole is a flatfish sold as food, with a mild flavour and delicate, tender flesh. Despite its name, it is not a lemon-flavoured ingredient. It is generally sold as a whole fish or as fillets; its skin is typically brownish on one side and paler on the other.

The flesh is commonly cooked gently and is easily separated into flakes when cooked. Fish sold under this market name can vary by source and may not always represent the same species, so the name alone does not establish a precise biological identity. Fresh and frozen forms may also differ in texture after cooking.
