Simple grilled plaice
Look for fish that have vibrant orange spots, red blood until the gills and in the gut cavity and have a healthy slime covering it and a fresh ozoney smell.
Plaice is fabulous baked or grilled. To bake, heat your oven to max, smooth a little soft butter over the back of the fish and bake for 10-12mins. You can if you wish make a few slashes across the back of the fish and fill with a few sprigs of thyme.
To grill the fish, a little olive oil or butter can be smoothed over the back and placed under a hot grill under the skin bubbles and crisps (within 2-3mins). Finish the fish in a really hot oven for 6-7 mins. This way you will ensure you get a wonderful moist cooking
