Turbot is a very funny looking flat sea fish, that lives and feeds at seafloor. This fish is very tasty, fatty and meaty. Easy to cook and does not require any special skills, or spices to make it delicious.
There are quiet a few different types of flat fish out there, but most common ones are Flounder, Halibut, Turbot and Plaice. They also vary in sizes and meatiness.
This was our first time baking this delicious fish whole, normally we could only find fillets in our local supermarkets, but sometime, you can get a whole one.
Full recipe with step-by-step instructions is below. Enjoy!
