Irish turbot

Irish turbot

Turbot is one of my favorite white fish, love the waxy texture and the juicy firm pieces of fin muscle along the 2 sides. I cook turbot regularly in France and Croatia whenever I see a wild one in the fish market, normally around 1kg size.   

While traveling in South Ireland, I saw turbot caught on the west coast of Ireland in the fish market, and sure have to buy it to taste it. 

Irish turbot fin muscles

It is an amazing experience, for a similar 1kg size turbot, it is thicker in the middle, the fin muscles are bigger and there is more jelly than what I used to have in France and Croatia. I need to investigate this more........
