Details

Confusingly the Lemon Sole is neither a Sole, nor does it taste of lemons (it's in the family of Flounders) but it is an incredibly delicious fish with delicate soft small white flakes and a lovely sweetness. 

Lemon sole stocks are thought to be very healthy, being widely caught around the Atlantic, from the Bay of Biscay to Iceland, making it an important food fish. 

In part, this is because a Lemon sole is exceptionally versatile, often regarded as having a firmer texture than most other flatfish, and a delicate flavour.

Frequently asked questions about Lemon Sole Fillets

What is lemon sole?

Lemon sole is a flatfish from the flounder family, found from the Bay of Biscay to Iceland. Confusingly, it is not a true sole. It has delicate, soft white flakes and a lovely sweetness. Rockfish lemon sole is wild caught in South West waters and landed to Brixham.

What does lemon sole taste like?

Lemon sole tastes mild, sweet and delicate, with small, soft white flakes. It is one of the gentlest flavoured fish, so it suits people who do not like anything too fishy. It is often said to have a slightly firmer texture than most other flatfish.

Does lemon sole taste of lemon?

No, lemon sole does not taste of lemon. The name is thought to come from the French word limande, used for this kind of flatfish, rather than from the fruit. It does go very well with a squeeze of lemon and a little butter, though.

How do you cook lemon sole fillets?

Lemon sole fillets are thin and cook in minutes. Grill them for three to four minutes, roast at 200C for about five to six minutes, or bake them in a paper parcel with butter and herbs. They are ready as soon as the flesh turns white and opaque.

Do lemon sole fillets have bones?

Rockfish lemon sole fillets are boneless and sold with the skin on, so they are ready to cook straight from the pack. A portion weighs a minimum of 140g and serves one person. That makes them an easy way to enjoy flatfish without dealing with a whole fish.

What is the difference between lemon sole and plaice?

Lemon sole and plaice are both mild, delicate flatfish, and you can use one in place of the other. Lemon sole is a little sweeter with slightly firmer flesh, while plaice is softer and has orange spots on its skin. Both cook quickly under the grill or in the oven.

Why is Rockfish fish so fresh?

At Rockfish, we pride ourselves on delivering the freshest fish you can find. Our location right on the quayside means we’re just steps away from the day’s catch. This proximity allows us to inspect and select only the finest quality fish, ensuring that what reaches your plate is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the fish is landed, it takes just a short 17-meter journey to our dedicated fishmonger unit, where it’s expertly prepared within hours.

How is the fish prepared?

To maintain peak freshness, we portion and vacuum-pack every piece of seafood on the same day it’s landed. This keeps the fish in pristine condition, clean, and easy to handle for cooking. Whether it’s destined for our restaurants or your home, you can trust that Rockfish fish is as fresh as it gets - straight from the sea to your table in record time.

How does my fish arrive?

Your fish portions are individually vac packed which keeps the fish pristine, easy to handle, and completely odour-free, making unpacking and storing a breeze. All of the fish clearly identifies the boat that caught it giving full traceability and links you to cooking instructions.
