Line-Caught Fresh John Dory From Cornwall Day Boats
Although it has an unusual appearance, John Dory is highly prized for its mild, somewhat sweet flavour, pearly-white meat, and firm, luscious texture. It’s a large-boned fish that’s a little more expensive due to its poor yield, but it’s worth every penny.
FLAVOUR: Medium | TEXTURE: Medium | IN SEASON: All Year

This adaptable fish can be pan-fried, roasted, poached, or steamed, as well as battered and deep-fried. Because the key to preparing cod is to avoid overcooking it, it is less well suited to grilling. John Dory is also delicious in stews, pies, and casseroles, and it holds up well to stronger flavours. It pairs very well with other seafood, such as clams, mussels, and prawns.
Fish loin is finest oven-roasted with a herb crust, while for wonderful, simple cod fillets, pan-fry in oil and butter before finishing in the oven on low heat.
Best eaten immediately.
Store in the fridge between 0ºC-5ºC, and eat within 2-3 days.
