Plaice Fillets, Extra Large, 300-400g x 2

Plaice Fillets Extra Large are two extra large plaice fillets, each weighing 300 to 400g — generous portions of one of Britain’s most beloved flatfish. Plaice has a sweet, mild flavour and a delicate, slightly flaky texture. In particular, it is one of the most distinctively British of all fish. Furthermore, at extra large size these fillets are substantial enough for a proper main course. As a result, they suit both simple pan-frying and more elegant preparations. However, plaice is at its very best cooked simply — it needs no embellishment beyond good butter and lemon.

Why Choose Plaice Fillets Extra Large From Us

Cooking fish well is one of the most rewarding skills in the kitchen. However, it is also one that many home cooks find intimidating. In contrast to meat, fish needs very little time. Most fillets cook in under 10 minutes. As a result, the margin between perfect and overcooked is small. In particular, the single most common mistake is overcooking. Furthermore, fish continues to cook after it leaves the heat. Therefore, pulling it from the pan a moment early is always the right decision. Moreover, a good non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan makes an enormous difference. Additionally, patting the fillet completely dry before cooking is essential. This gives a clean, golden sear rather than steaming in its own moisture.

When you order Plaice Fillets Extra Large from The Artisan Food Company, you can trust that we have handled it with the same care and attention from water to door. Furthermore, Plaice Fillets Extra Large arrives chilled and ready to cook. Simply remove from packaging and cook.
