Dover sole
Meunière's favored fish
Dover sole is a flatfish prized for its delicate flavor and firm texture, considered among the finest eating fish in European cuisine.
True Dover sole comes from the waters around Dover, England, though the name applies to the species (*Solea solea*) caught throughout the northeastern Atlantic.
American "Dover sole" is a different, less esteemed Pacific flounder.
The Dover sole was pan-fried in brown butter.
