Chef-prepped Share

Let our resident chef, prepare, season and doctor up your fish for you! Choose either whole OR filleted fish then your catch will come fully prepared with fresh, organic ingredients (as much as possible) and a mouth watering recipe each week. Shares will be fully assembled, packed in parchment and oven-ready, simply heat and serve. All ingredients used in our recipes are sourced from local producers including Growing Communities and Get Loose

The recipes

Our in-house chef has designed a selection of mouth watering recipes to compliment the range of fish our fishers catch. We’ll be switching up our recipes on a seasonal basis to make the most of the ingredients we get our hands on. Recipes will rotate each week so you can expect a changing selection over the course of each month. Here’s a selection some of our latest recipes

whole or filleted fish?

Whole? We understand that tackling a whole fish can be an intimidating endeavour so we developed this share to help make eating whole fish just a little bit simpler. We want to show you how easy, no fuss and delicious it can be. Cooking fish whole means more flavourful flesh but it also yields the most succulent meat. With the whole fish option, your fish will come expertly trimmed, gutted and prepared with the best ingredients.

We’ve been getting the chef-prepped share for a few months. As a long-term Soleshare fan, I’ve cooked a lot of fish over the years and was getting a bit bored with my same-old prep. Boredom no more: now we get a different fish, marinated with a different recipe every week, ready to stick in the oven. Love it!

Not ready to tackle the whole beast? No worries, go for the filleted option, you can always change your share option at any time!

Filleted? The perfect choice if you’d rather leave all the fish handling to us! Your fish will be filleted and prepared with the same best ingredients as the whole fish share. It will be fully prepped, wrapped and sealed in a parchment package ready for the oven, simply heat and serve!

Some tips for tackling a whole cooked fish…

Carving a fish is a brilliant skill and once you’ve had a go on a few fish you’ll be set for life. You’ll be getting a mix of both round and flat fish through SoleShare and with a few tips and a bit of practice you’ll be able to navigate both varieties like a pro in no time. Check out the videos below to help get you started.

This is how to remove the meat from a cooked, whole flatfish, without getting all the bones as well. This is a plaice, but will work for any similar flatfish...
