L is for Lemon Sole

Tasty Cold Water Fish

The Lemon Sole is found in the Atlantic and Artic Oceans and the North, Baltic, White, and Irish Seas, the name Lemon Sole is a throwback because [1] the fish is not really a sole at all and [2] it does not taste of lemon, it is not really known how the name came about with a number of suggestions being passed down over the years, even so the fish still makes a tasty meal, they are a dark reddish brown in colour with pink and orange spots with flecks of orange and green, with a white underbelly, they weigh about 6lbs and grow up to two feet in length, they eat shrimps, snails slugs and worms, and can be fried, baked, grilled or steamed.
