Range & Habitat
Other Names: The name "Dover" comes from the southeastern English port of Dover, which landed the most sole in the 19th Century. That being said, don't confuse European Dover sole with America's West Coast Dover sole; They are not the same fish.
Moist, Flaky, Rich, Clean
Icelandic cod is wild caught in the deep, cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding Iceland. This fish is hook and line caught which greatly reduces the stress on the fish and in turn, the meat has a much more firm texture. The hook and line method also dramatically reduces the amount of by-catch which is one of the leading causes of overfishing. The Icelandic cod fishery is MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) recommended for it's responsible and sustainable methods of fishing.
Very Flakey, Sweet, Moist
Think of Dover Sole with a Snapper's texture. Think of Turbot with a crab like sweetness. John Dory is a versatile species that dominates the light, white, flakey genre. John Dory is an upright "Flatfish". Its fillet resembles the shape of Flounder, but without scales. It has a beautiful olive to gold skin that crisps wonderfully when seared. The flake of the John Dory is delicate and supple. The clean flavors are the perfect canvas for light sets and minimalistic ingredient approach.
