First of all I have summarized the most important points for the preparation of May Plaice.
Here are my professional cooking tips:
- Buy the May plaice fresh from the fishmonger.

- Best to prepare the whole fish on the day of purchase.
- Take 25 minutes to prepare the plaice ready to cook.

- Please use a large, coated pan so that the plaice frying is successful.
- Use clarified butter or homemade nut butter in combination with sunflower oil to fry the plaice.
- Make sure you turn the cleaned and cleaned plaice in flour.
- You can also use a gluten-free flour mixture in addition to wheat flour.
- Fry the plaice first in a pan, then place it in a preheated oven. Serve the plaice exclusively on hot plates.
