Turbot is one of the better tasting fish species and is a luxury species of fish. Wild copies are not optimal all year round and are very variable in price. So culture is the answer. The turbot is a flatfish that can be as large as 1 meters and 25 to 30 kg heavy with an age of 25 years. The turbot is growing more and more under controlled conditions, that is to say. Farmed turbot is gaining popularity. That has a number of reasons. First, this fish is well available and the price is stable all year round. Farmed turbot from Spain/Potugal is often larger compared to the Dutch variant and can become more than 5 kg heavy. Farmed turbot is also available live.
