Tips

Like all white fish, turbot should be cooked with care and skill.
Because turbot flesh is quite delicate, wet heat cooking methods such as steaming, poaching is preferable, though not crucial.
Dry heat methods such as pan-frying and grilling add flavor but should be implemented gently.
To know when turbot is cooked, insert a sharp knife into the thickest part of the flesh – if it’s cooked through the knife will come out hot to the touch. The flesh should also feel springy.
Baking or roasting turbot whole is one of the best – if not the best – way of cooking this deluxe fish.
Cooking turbot whole with the bones is always preferable as it adds flavour to the fish.
Salt seals in moisture, making it an excellent way to bake turbot – making the fish succulent but not salty.

When cooking turbot whole, ensure that it’s been gutted, with gills and scales removed or this can impart an unpleasant bitter taste. But don’t forget turbot is a big fish, so make sure your roasting tin can fit the whole turbot in!
