Fish
Top Side
Top-side fillet of Turbot (often eyed-side on flatfish) is the thicker preferred white fillet for pan work. As a top side section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep turbot top side iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Poaching, bone-in roasting, and pan-searing suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm sweet white flesh.
