Lemons have an oval body; more rounded than a Dover, with a lighter, yellowy-brown dark side. Ranging in size from 230g to 1kg, Lemon Sole have a sweet delicate 昀氀esh, ideal for any sole recipes and work especially well with creamy white wine sauces. As well as being a great 昀椀sh cooked on the bone, 昀椀llets are always popular, and are great for rolling around a 昀椀lling (delice), then steaming or baking.

While found in the Eastern Atlantic and North Sea, Lemon Sole from the South Coast are generally considered the best, and often command a higher price. A popular 昀椀sh on Christmas menus.
