Recipe
Petrale Sole Fillet with a Soft Herb Crust and Chive Crushed New PotatoesDavid Hawksworth, West Restaurant, Vancouver, BC
Description
Generally regarded as the premium Pacific coast "sole" , Petrale Sole is NOT a true SOLE, but rather a FLOUNDER, a flatfish that is found in the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Mexico. Two discrete populations have been identified in B.C. coastal waters, near Vancouver Island. It has olive brown skin and ivory, or cream-colored flesh.
Cooking tips
Highly prized for its excellent flavor and fine-textured, low fat flesh, Petrale sole can be prepared in almost any manner including sautéing, broiling, grilling and poaching.
Petrale Sole, like other Flatfish, is a very soft, moist fish that is vulnerable to mushiness if cooked too long. Brevity of cooking time is essential.
