Brill is a flatfish with a distinctive dark brown skin speckled with white and creamy white underside flesh. Known for its sweet taste and firm texture, brill is particularly delicious when pan fried or grilled and is similar in taste and appearance to turbot. Like many fish, stocks are suffering due to overfishing so ensure you purchase your brill from a sustainable source.
