  • About

    LOCALLY SOURCED SOLE

    Sole is highly regarded by chefs for its fine, buttery texture, easy filleting, and mild flavour, which gives it a lot of versatility in the kitchen. The delicate flavour means sole works beautifully with a wide variety of culinary styles and flavours. Our sole is caught by local fishermen off the coast of Mossel Bay on the south east coast.

    CONTENT

    2 x Dressed Baby Soles (1x Pack of 2) (Approx. 820g - 880g per box, +-425g per sole)


  • Instructions

    Your East Coast Soles will arrive frozen with 2 packs of 6 soles in a pack for convenience. Simply store in your freezer (up to 6 months) and use at your leisure. It is best to remove product from packaging to defrost (do not thaw under vacuum/pressure), simply place on a tray in your fridge and allow to thaw slowly.

    Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed separately or cut into smaller portions etc.

  • Eco rating

    There is no shying away from the fact that any fishing that disturbs the ocean bed has a negative ecological effect, and this is also true for sole. To help mitigate this we source our sole from local fisheries on the east coast where the smaller industry does less harm, while also creating needed jobs. Furthermore, local sourcing means the carbon footprint of the sole is much lower than imported alternatives.

  • Fishwife Recipes

    Granny Filly’s Crumbed Soles

    A delicious family recipe from The Fishwife. Passed down through generations, and now on to you. You will need:

    • Sole Fillets (2-3 per person)
    • Milk
    • Cornflake Crumbs (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE)
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Shards of butter (Keep butter refrigerated)

    Preparation:

    1. If you are using frozen sole fillets, you can allow them to defrost in the fridge overnight.
    2. Soak the soles in milk for approximately 2 hours. I use a bread tin for this as I find it to be the perfect size.
    3. Line a baking tray with tin foil and grease with Spray and Cook.
    4. Remove the soles from the milk and allow to drip dry before placing on the baking tray.
    5. Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
    6. Sprinkle the cornflake crumbs generously over the fillets. Use your finger or the back of a spoon to evenly coat.
    7. Slice thin shards of butter and space evenly over the fillets (make sure you are using refrigerated butter in order to cut your shards easily).
    8. Switch the grill on to low and place the tray under the grill for approximately 2 minutes allowing the butter to melt.
    9. Once the butter has melted remove from the oven and add extra shards of butter to any areas that have been missed and that remain dry.
    10. Place the tray back under the grill, this time on a medium heat setting on the second shelf from the top.
    11. Grill for 5-7 minutes and remove from the oven. The crumbs should be a nice golden colour.
    12. Turn the fillets over and repeat the seasoning and crumbing process.
    13. Grill for a further 5-7 minutes.
    14. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your choice of sides.

          I enjoy receiving my Greenfish order! Delivered quickly Excellent value for money and outstanding quality every time! These Baby soles were really delicious and easy to prepare with a crumb/butter topping. Let alone one cannot get soles at the usual W shop.

          Soles meunières

          these small soles are divine and they are delivered very well prepared. I cook them or meunière in the pan or in the oven with citrus fruits and fried potatoes.

          Incredible Sole at such reasonable prices

          The sole was so good & tasty. I will definitely order again. My only criticism is they are packed & frozen in 6’s. They are quite small but I only eat two in a sitting. Defrosting all 6 means I’m eating sole for 3 days in a row

          Soles at last!

          I used to buy fresh soles (when they were available which was rare) from my local fish dealer. That source has dried up for well over a year. Greenfish popped up on my Facebook feed so I tried them. Nice easy to use website, seamless ordering and paying. Helpful over the phone. My soles arrived a few hours later and were delicious.
