The Manthal name is documented for Cynoglossus macrostomus, a flatfish in the family Cynoglossidae. The species is associated with marine and brackish habitats.
Sole Fish is naturally flat, so its flesh is relatively thin and cooks faster than many thicker fish cuts. Its mild flavour also works well with simple seasoning such as lemon, garlic, black pepper and herbs.
For a crisp finish, pat the fish dry before coating it lightly with flour or breadcrumbs. For a lighter meal, pan sear it with a small amount of oil and finish with lemon.
• Picked for the order: Sole Fish is hand picked before cleaning and cutting instead of being prepared as a generic pre cut batch.
• Temperature controlled handling: The flat flesh needs careful handling because thinner portions can lose moisture quickly. Fresh Fish Dubai keeps Sole Fish chilled between 0 and 4°C through storage and delivery.
• Dubai focused delivery: You can order 24/7, with a 2 hour express delivery option and area based delivery windows rather than relying on a blanket same day promise.
Pan fry: Season and lightly flour the fish. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Grill: Brush lightly with oil and grill for around 3 to 5 minutes per side. Avoid excessive heat because the thinner flesh can dry quickly.
Curry: Add cleaned or cut Sole Fish near the end of cooking and simmer gently for around 8 to 10 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
