Trawl caught, West Coast
Petrale sole is prized by chefs as one of the finest West Coast flounders. (Yes, petrale sole is NOT a sole, but a flounder.) It has a wonderfully mild, sweet flavor and delicate, tender flesh. It's also incredibly versatile — delicious sautéed, baked, or broiled. A little butter, lemon, and fresh herbs are all it needs!
The name "sole" was adopted for marketing purposes, but this delicious fish has earned its reputation on its own merits. A right-eyed flatfish, petrale sole makes its home along the sandy ocean floor off the Pacific Coast, where the fishery is carefully managed for sustainability.
Fillets come skinned and average about 6 ounces each. Seafood Watch rates it a "Best Choice." Low mercury level. Kosher.
