does it improve the flavour by slapping it down on the board, 5 or 6 times?

Hmm. In France I ws shown you'd simply cut the edges off both sides and slide the fillets off, then turn the fish and slide those fillets off. There are no fine bones in the main body and they dont break. Didnt expect Rick to make a meal of it.

Bought some sole from Morrions today, they'd already cut the head and tail off.... couldn't purchase anything when trying to take the skin off it all ended with a lump of fish on the counter after taking the centre bone out as well. now it's two fish patties. Perhaps it works better on decent fresh sole. The fish stuck to the skin as I tried to peel it away so I would have ended up with a load of fish on the skin's inside.

@kevmalone 7 жыл бұрын

I think you are talking about a different dish - the texture profile would be quite different. I could be wrong but I've tried both methods for trout (skin off/bone in, skin on/fillet) and find them quite different - the first method gives a more tender result (good summer meal with a glass of wine), while the second is more robust ( autumn/fall with a decent beer). However, I have not tried this approach for dover sole as I always felt a filleted fish would break in the pan.

Sounds reasonable but - the scales are really messy, tend to fly everywhere and can be really hard to see. When I tried to remove both at one go the scales dropped onto the skinned flesh and i was unable to successfully remove them all - made for a crunchy fish dish! Now I take a little more time up front (to be honest I get the store to descale!).

What's the point of eating fish when you have to take the skin off?! Because the skin of a Dover Sole is tough and unappetising-like sand paper. There is a lot of flavor in SKIN, so i'm sceptical. Sea Bass is my favourite fish; it's delicate, silky, and flavourful.
