John Dory

About John Dory

One of the great fish for fine dining. John Dory has firm, white, delicately flavoured flesh that's often compared to Dover sole in quality. Recognisable by the distinctive dark spot on each side — legend says it's Saint Peter's thumbprint. Low yield but exceptional eating.
