Whole Dover sole
Catching area
The Dover sole can be found in the Atlantic Ocean from Norway to the northeast coast of Africa, which is also known as FAO fishing area 27. It can be found in the Mediterranean Sea too.
The Dover sole tastes the best around the autumn. Around this time the Dover sole has a mild, buttery and sweet flavour. Chefs often prize the fish for its unique flavour and for the fact that they are easy to fillet. The Dover sole is also very nutritious. It contains a lot of vitamins, including B and D vitamins. Moreover, Dover sole is also a good source of protein, just like every fish product. The fish is also low in calories, since one hundred grams of them only contain about 79 calories. However, this will depend on the way in which you prepare them of course.
We export our Dover sole to catering industries in a lot of different countries, including our own country and even the United States. Since the fish is eaten in a lot of countries there are also various ways to prepare the fish. For example, one well-known dish in the Netherlands which includes Dover sole is Dover sole à la Picasso. This dish consists of Dover sole served with different fruits. In the Netherlands they also like to fry Dover sole in butter. Another dish, which is probably the most famous dish which includes Dover sole, is sole meunière. Sole meunière is a classical French dish consisting of Dover sole which is dredged in milk and flour, fried in butter and served with a brown butter sauce and lemon.
