the market here had turbot (rare in the US) for sale, so I picked up two pounds.

does anyone have a good recipe for cooking the fillet? I once had a turbot in salsa verde in spain and like it very much.

I am surprised turbot is rare in the US... It's common enough in Canada.

It's all about marketing-Turbot is just another name for Flounder.

and humans are just better marketed monkeys?

flounders and turbots are placed side by side in the market I went to. they are not the same.

they are not that alike. and by the way, turbot tastes much better than flounder.

My guess is that you wouldn't know a Starry Flounder from a Turbot from a California Halibut if someone swatted you in the face with one.

I know I've caught/killed/cleaned/eaten 'em all and a flatfish is a flatfish-some are tastier than others depending on forage and size but none are exceptional.
