Plaice

Forgive the presentation - this was a late night meal - but was surprisingly delicious, in fact one of my favourites so far. The plaice was just superb - a total treat. I didn't know it was such a gorgeous fish. After so much rich food, I wanted something very simple: roasted fish with a little lemon, butter, bay, seasoning; steamed potatoes with their skins on; steamed spring greens with a little butter.
The flavours had enough space to work and it felt unforced. Humble, surprising, and generous.
