Description
Fresh whole turbot from the Gothenburg fish auction in Sweden – the king of flatfish, with firm, white, juicy flesh and a fine, rich flavour. Thanks to the conditions on the Swedish west coast it is particularly firm. Roasted whole, it is the showpiece of a special dinner.
Early in the morning we go through the boxes landed by the fishing boats and pick the finest turbot.

A whole fish never weighs exactly the same, so the size you choose is approximate. We always aim as close as we can, and when it differs, you usually get a little more rather than less.
How to cook it
Easily prepared by roasting whole in the oven: season with lemon, salt and pepper, put some butter on the baking tray and roast at 100 °C for about 2 hours. Enjoy with our roe sauce or a cold crème fraîche sauce.
We pick the turbot closest to your chosen size at the Gothenburg fish auction on Wednesday morning. Ready in Zollikon from Thursday, delivered to your door on Friday, or ready at Morges market on Saturday.
How much? A whole flatfish has a lot of bone: plan about 400–500 g of whole fish per person for a main course. A 1.5 kg turbot serves three to four, 2 kg four to five, 2.5 kg five to six and 3 kg six to eight. More in our whole turbot guide.
Good to know: turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is Steinbutt in German and turbot in French. Cooked whole on the bone it stays especially juicy – see how to roast a whole turbot.
