great location, thoughtful food, charm, ambience = £20 for a dover sole and £6 for a glass of Chablis, not £5 for a burger and pint
As you say in the right location. I haven't eaten Dover Sole, but I have Lemon Sole. My preferred fish are Haddock and Plaice. Quite tasty if fresh, not so good if they've seen any ice along the way.
One fish I do want to try is Turbot.
Turbot is my dad's favourite
I think you can't beat a piece of halibut but at £30-35 a kilo it's not for every day
we do eat loads of fish though, my daughter prefers it to meat which is quite unusual for a teenager I think
We are getting into luxury territory there with Halibut.
Fish is more about the freshness rather than the make.
A Plaice you've caught yourself will be better than any Halibut bought in a restaurant, supermarket or even a fishmonger.
Fish and ice (frozen partly or wholly) do not mix, it's as simple as that, but for most people there isn't a choice, so you have to settle for second best.
