What goes with Plaice?
Plaice has broad, relatively thin fillets that taper sharply towards the edges. Its lean flesh gives a gentle sweetness and a softer flake than monkfish, so handling matters as much as the sauce. A large whole plaice cut on the bone and a small detached fillet need different schedules; weight alone does not describe the distance heat must travel.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Plaice?
Capers and parsley suit a simple pan sauce, while potato absorbs juices without increasing aromatic pressure. Cauliflower can contribute contrasting cooked textures in a compact garnish. For Specials, define the form precisely: ready-to-eat trout roe is a small finishing component, and elderflower enters through a named floral vinegar, not through an optional generic substitute.
