Plaice is a really delicious ivory white fish with a fine texture. It has small tightly packed flakes that retain the natural juices of the fish and mean it can marry well with many flavours. Plaice is really versatile, it's beautiful simply pan fried with a knob of butter or really delicious battered and served with homemade tartare sauce. The options of how you can enjoy this fish are endless. We should all be eating more Plaice, local stocks are in abundance, in fact, they are far higher than what the MSC describes as very sustainable levels. There is less demand for Plaice across the continent which means that it's really important that we celebrate this fabulous fish from our own shores. Plaice are easily recognised by their distinctive orange spots, however in the sea these clever fish will camouflage themselves, changing colour to match their surroundings. They will often live until 30 years of age or more, with the oldest Plaice ever landed being a whopping 50 years old! Approximately 140g.
