Turbot and halibut

These are usually large flat fish, although turbot can be as small as 2 or 3 lb when it can be cooked whole with a stuffing. Halibut on the other hand can weigh up to 40 lb. Both are available all through the year, have a fine flavour, are quite expensive, but are easy to grill, fry, poach or bake in long cutlets on the bone.
