Dab is a beautiful flat fish that’s similar to (and a great sustainable alternative to) lemon sole and plaice. It has a delicate, sweet flavour that’s lovely grilled, pan-fried or baked whole. You can use dab as a substitute to most recipes calling for sole or plaice. So it's no great surprise you prepare dab in a similar way to these flat fish - just trim the tail and give it a thorough wash.

Producer

Our fish is wild and comes from day boats. The boats fish in West country waters, and we buy the fish from Cornish and Devon Fish Markets. Looe is our preferred market but we also use Newlyn, Plymouth and Brixham from time to time. (Sometimes, when the weather is too extreme on that coast, the boats can’t go out, we will then buy from other selected Day Boats within UK waters.)

Storage & prep

Dabs can be pan-fried, grilled, poached or cooked in a medium to low heat oven. To pan-fry dabs, heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. To oven bake your dab, put well-seasoned fish in a shallow basin of water or stock and cook in a preheated oven of 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Strips of fillet work well pan-fried in a little oil or brushed with oil and grilled for 3-4 minutes of each side. To check whether a whole dab is cooked, lift a section of the flesh from the bone at the thickest point of the fish - the flesh should lift off easily and be white throughout without any trace of pink.
