Turbot is a large, diamond-shaped flatfish that lies on sandy and gravelly sea beds, with a mottled brown upper side studded with small bony knobs instead of scales. Whole fish carry a thick band of gelatinous skin and bone that gives body to sauces and stocks.
The flesh is firm, white and meaty, with a clean, gently sweet flavour that holds up to bold cooking. Because it keeps its shape well, turbot is a favourite for special dinners, whether roasted on the bone for a table to share or served as neat fillet portions with a butter sauce.

Cook turbot on the bone where you can: the bone and skin keep the flesh moist and add flavour to the pan juices.
