Round fish
Distinguishable by its shape and found throughout the British Isles and waters of the Mediterranean.
Gilthead Bream
Farmed extensively in the Mediterranean, Gilthead Bream is an excellent alternative to Bass thanks to its flavours, reliable pricing and obtainability.
Grey Mullet
Tastiest catches are at the start of summer in British waters, but this traditionally under used fish is available all year on the South coast.
Gurnard
Ranging from the coast of Great Britain and Western Europe to the islands of the Mediterranean, both red and grey Gurnard are plentiful in supply and have a solid sustainability record.
John Dory
Prime catches between June and August, John Dory is best served filleted despite the decreased yield as, like Monkfish, the vast majority of weight is in the fish’s head.
Flat fish
Monkfish
The majority of flat fish are sourced from European waters and provide an immense variety of delicate and meatier fish.
Brill
Unlike many other flat fish, Brill retains its quality when roed-up and landings are bountiful along the coasts of the U.K., France, Spain and Portugal throughout the year.
Dover Sole
It is best to avoid catches during the end of winter and early spring months, but healthy hauls are available the rest of the year in U.K.
Halibut
The largest of all flat fish, Halibut is a Scottish native and is noted for its clean flavour and extremely low fat content, making it the perfect option for health conscious guests.
Lemon Sole
Not strictly from the Sole family, Lemon Sole is actually a type of Plaice and is predominately sourced from Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Plaice
An important flat fish in European markets, Plaice typically inhabit sandy seafloors and are most often served filleted, breaded and pan-
Despite the head accounting for around 60% of the fish’s weight, it is the tail – skinned, trimmed and with the membrane removed – that produces the meaty, firm flesh that has made Monkfish a favoured taste in recent years, with demand often outstripping supply in winter months.
Red Mullet
At its finest during summer months, Red Mullet is a prime fish that is imported and exported around the world for its delicate flavour and owns a reputation as sometimes being sold for its weight in silver.
Sea Bass
Versatile and consistent in price and size, Sea Bass is a favourite in the Mediterranean, however discerning palettes say British line- caught Sea Bass offers the better quality.
Sea Bream
Found in various types – black banded, black, red – Sea Bream is available in both wild and sustainably farmed form.
Stone Bass
Also known as Meagre, Stone Bass is far from being the weaker cousin of Sea Bass and boasts a year round availability thanks to its sustainable farming off the southern French coast.
fried
Turbot
Exclusive to European seas and distinguishable by its lighter skin, the Turbot is particularly prevalent on the sandbanks of the North Sea and is highly prized for its form and succulent taste.
Red Gurnard
From the south and west coasts of the British
Isles to the Mediterranean.
