Whole Plaice is a common flatfish found in the shallow waters of the North Atlantic and European coasts. Recognizable by its distinctive orange or red spots on a smooth brown skin, plaice has a soft, flaky white flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It’s often pan-fried, grilled, or baked and is a staple in traditional British fish and chips. Its delicate taste makes it ideal for simple preparations that highlight the freshness of the fish.
