What goes with Turbot?
Turbot offers thick, fine-textured white flesh and a different distribution of tissue around the central bone and fin edges. A substantial on-bone portion does not cook like a small skinless fillet. Its perceived richness should not be treated as permission to add unlimited fat: much of the eating quality depends on preserving moisture and the supple texture of the flesh.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Turbot?
Build the plate around the turbot’s texture, with strained shellfish liquor or a small wine sauce giving depth. Artichoke hearts and salsify supply a vegetable bite that survives beside a thick portion. Bergamot should act as a controlled aromatic infusion, and a marrow garnish should replace some sauce fat rather than add another full layer of richness.
