Lemon Sole Fillet 1 Lb - All Fresh Seafood

Lemon Sole Fillets – North Atlantic Product Description This is a funny fish... as the name implies, one might think Lemon Sole is part of the “sole” family — but it’s not! Lemon Sole belongs to the Pleuronectidae family, also known as right-eye flounders. These fish lie on the sea bottom on their left sides, with both eyes on their right sides.

Their cousins, the Paralichthyidae, are the opposite, with eyes on the left. A few species, like those in the genus Platichthys, can even have eyes on either side — just one of the many fascinating quirks of the flatfish world. Our Lemon Sole is wild-caught from the rich, cold waters off Georges Bank, one of the most productive and respected fishing grounds in North America. It arrives fresh from our trusted New England partners, primarily from New Bedford, Massachusetts — known for landing some of the finest flatfish in the country. Hi, Chef Adam Here – Am I Going Crazy With the Semantics? Not really. I’m just passionate about seafood education — and this question comes up all the time: “What’s the difference between Lemon Sole and Flounder?” Here’s the scoop: Lemon Sole is actually a type of flounder. The name “sole” is a bit of marketing shorthand, originally borrowed from European markets where Dover Sole reigns supreme. The American version has a similar delicate flavor and fine texture — making it perfect for any recipe that calls for a mild, flaky white fish.
