John Dory is a deep-bodied fish with a dark thumbprint mark on each flank and firm, fine white flesh. The flavour is sweet and delicate, close to turbot and sole, and each fillet divides naturally into three slim lobes. The head and frame take up much of the weight, so allow more per person than usual and keep the bones for stock.

We prepare it at the Barnes counter whole and cleaned, trimmed of its spines and fins, or filleted by hand.

Pan-fry fillets in butter for two minutes a side or roast a whole fish at 190C for 15 to 20 minutes. It takes little more than lemon, butter and a soft herb.
