DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES: Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a species of flat-fish that hail from the Northeast Atlantic and Baltic sea. Turbot fish are known across the world as a premium option for those looking for a delicious and flaky firm seafood dish. As a flat fish, there is nothing truly beautiful about the appearance of a turbot. It's the turbot's inner beauty that captivates the diner with it's brilliantly white flesh brimming with flavor and a unique texture. Until now, turbot was found almost exclusively in the best Michelin-star restaurants in Europe. Preparing this rare delicacy was almost impossible in the United States due to logistical and seasonal issues.
However, Kolikof Caviar & Gourmet has found a way to provide you with the freshest of turbot fish on the market. Our turbot are sustainably caught and transported from the European seas straight to your freezer. Our turbot fish are skinned, deboned, and flash-frozen within minutes to provide you with the freshest of natural seafood tastes.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT: As a flat fish, turbot is often compared to flounder. Make no mistake — there is no comparison. True European Turbot has flavors unto itself. No GMOs, antibiotics or preservatives. Sustainably raised.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This supreme filet receives first-class attention to those who enjoy it. Turbot is so full of flavor on its own, that simple preparations are highly encouraged. Avoid dry heat or grilling, which can leave this fresh-fish tasting dry. This beauty is best simply poached, steamed, or pan-seared in the best butter. To elevate your palate, substitute turbot in any recipe calling for halibut.
