Lemon sole is a soft, delicate flatfish with mild sweet flesh and a fine flake. It is more tender than Dover sole and cooks in less time, so it suits a light hand and a watchful eye. Butter and lemon carry the flavour well.

At the Barnes counter we prepare it whole and cleaned for grilling on the bone, trimmed, or filleted and skinned by hand for the pan.

Pan-fry fillets in butter for one to two minutes a side, grill a whole fish for six to eight minutes or crumb the fillets as goujons. New potatoes, peas and a caper butter finish it.
