True sole belong to the family Soleidae which includes the common or Dover sole. It should be noted that Lemon Sole is not a true sole it is a flounder (see separate entry). Most are seawater (marine) flatfish although some do inhabit fresh water mostly found in the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean sea. They reach a maximum length of about 70cm/28-inches and are a more oval shape than many other flatfish with a smooth skin. Classed as a "white" fish, they have a mild, buttery sweet flavour and are prized by European chefs and diners alike for their versatility and ease of filleting. The name "Dover" is taken from the English fishing port which landed the most sole in the 19th century. Unfortunately, over-fishing in Europe has given rise to increased prices.
Suitable substitutes include halibut, lemon sole, plaice, flounder.
