FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How can I tell if sole fish is fresh?
Fresh sole should have a mild, sea-like scent, not a 'fishy' odor. The flesh should be firm, translucent, and spring back when pressed.
What is a good substitute for sole fish?
Flounder is the closest substitute. Other mild, white flatfish like tilapia or whiting can also work in most recipes.
Is sole fish high in mercury?
No, sole is generally considered a low-mercury fish, making it a safe choice for most people, including pregnant women, when consumed in moderation.
How long does it take to cook sole?
Because it is thin and delicate, sole cooks very quickly, usually taking only 4-6 minutes total depending on the thickness.
What are the best flavor pairings for sole?
Sole pairs beautifully with light flavors like lemon, butter, capers, parsley, and white wine.
Do I need to remove the skin before cooking?
While the skin is edible, many prefer to remove it because it can be tough. Most fillets come pre-skinned.
Is sole fish suitable for a keto diet?
Yes, sole is excellent for keto as it contains zero carbohydrates and is high in protein.
