John Dory Fish
John Dory is a very unusual looking, flat fish with long spines on its dorsal fin. Its body shape appears broad from the side but when viewed head-on it appears very thin, giving the John Dory the ability to confuse predators, by turning to the side.
John Dory is a firm-textured fish with a mild, sweet flavor. It is very low in fat, even though it has a buttery feel in the mouth.
Chef's Advice
Divide the fish into fillets by slicing carefully along its natural seams, season it gently and fry the John Dory for an incredible fish and chips. You can leave the skin on when cooking it. Use the head and bones for a superb fish stock.

The Company
Marie Luxe acts as the coordinator of a real artisan fish chain, proposing high quality sea products directly and exclusively from small fishing boats around all the Breton coasts, Normandy, the Basque Country and the Mediteranean.
At the crosssroads of the English Channel and the Atlantic, the Breton landscape offers a multitude of natural and unspoiled sites. Its water, particularly rich in food, provides it with specific zones of exploitation. Brittany is the only area in Europe to still have this diversity of products fished by a fleet of small boats. The hazardous, rocky nature of the sea-beds supports the growth and the multiplicity of the species available.
