Crunchy Rock Sole Fillets

Our crunchy Pacific plaice fillets are made of the rock sole. The rock sole is not actually a sole but a right-eyed flounder. However it is called sole because this name is more marketable. The rock sole is also known as the Lepidopsetta bilineata and the Lepidopsetta polyxstra. The only difference is that the Lepidopsetta bilineata can be found in the southern Pacific Ocean while the Lepidopsetta polyxstra can be found in the northern Pacific Ocean.

Catching area

We have to import our rock sole from China since the Pacific Ocean is quite far away from the Netherlands. First the fish is caught by Russian or American trawlers. Afterwards it is transported to China where they process the fish. When the fish is processed it is brought to our company in the Netherlands where we batter the fish fillets in our own advanced production line.

However, we can still ensure you that our rock sole is processed, packaged and transported in perfectly hygienic conditions because we know our suppliers personally. Thereby we can also guarantee you that our rock sole is sustainable since we are MSC-certified. As a supplier ourselves we sell our crunchy Pacific plaice fillets skinless, skin on, single, married, battered and pre-fried. We also have breaded Pacific plaice fillets available at our ‘Added Value’-page, rock sole which is not breaded at our ‘Fish Worldwide’-page and European plaice fillets at our ‘North Sea Fish’-page.The rock sole is very good at camouflaging since it can almost disappear when digging into the sea bottom. The flavour of the rock sole is mild and the fish has a delicate texture. However, most of the taste of the crunchy Pacific plaice fillets will come from the battering. But within this battered crust you can still taste the delicious, mild and slightly sweet flavour of the fish. One hundred grams of crunchy Pacific plaice fillets contain around 252 calories. They also contain some carbohydrates because of the battering. Crispy pacific plaice fillets provides a lot of protein, B vitamins and calcium too, just like every fish product.

Plaice is a product which is very popular in Europe. However, we export most products which are made of the rock sole to Germany. Because of its popularity there are a lot of ways to eat the battered fillets. However, most people like to eat is as the fish in fish and chips. You can also serve the battered fillets with mushy peas or rice as a side dish. The fillets can be served with lemon wedges and a tartar sauce too, which will make them taste even more delicious!
