How to Cook Fresh Turbot?

Classic Whole Roasted Turbot with Meunière Butter: Score the dark skin of a cleaned 2kg whole Turbot. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and roast whole at 200°C for 25–30 minutes. Serve drizzled with a hot brown butter, lemon, and fresh parsley sauce (Sauce Meunière).

Pan-Seared Turbot Fillets: If ordered filleted, sear skin-side down in a hot pan with olive oil and butter for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp, then flip for 1–2 minutes to gently finish cooking.

Oven-Baked Turbot with White Wine & Capers: Lay Turbot steaks or whole fish over sliced shallots, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with dry white wine and extra virgin olive oil, cover loosely with foil, and bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes.
Storage & Handling Instructions

Refrigeration: Store in the coldest part of your refrigerator (0°C to 2°C) in its original vacuum packaging. For maximum sweetness and firm texture, consume within 2 days of arrival.

Freezing: Suitable for home freezing. Keep sealed in its original vacuum packaging and freeze at -18°C for up to 3 months. Thaw thoroughly in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
What does Turbot taste like?

Turbot has an exceptionally rich, buttery, and slightly sweet flavor with a firm, succulent white flake. It is far denser and meatier than standard flatfish like Plaice or Flounder, giving it a luxurious mouthfeel.

How many people does a 2kg whole Turbot feed?

A 2kg whole Turbot provides generous portion sizes and will easily feed 3 to 4 adults when served whole or cut into steaks.

Will I lose weight when I select the cleaning option?

Yes. The 2kg weight refers to the whole gross weight of the fish when caught. When scaled, gutted, and trimmed by our fishmongers, the net weight will naturally reduce by approximately 15–20% (or around 40–45% yield if fully filleted, as flatfish have large bone structures).
