Solla or Platija (Plaice or European Flounder) would be the closest varieties to Fluke in Danish Waters. An Eastern Atlantic species. Pleuronectes or Platichthys in Latin.
It is a lovely fish, and very delicate … A flat shaped fish.
Can also be caught wild in Southern Ireland (plaice).
Surely exquistely splendid !!![quote=“Metsfan86, post:201, topic:16628, full:true”]
Beautiful meal as always. Love that fluke preparation, such a delicate fish, better to not do too much with it. Quite jealous of you guys for getting to enjoy that dish

Yes, I’ve enjoyed it in Ireland as well. Confession is that it was usually as fish and chips though. At the time I had no idea is was similar to fluke, was just looking to change it up from cod all the time
When real life meets hungry onion. My fav nfl podcast host just posted on Twitter about his love of this spot. Just found it cool. To make it more topical, does Anyone have any update on the outdoor space they were looking to put in?
Happy Anniversary @gracieggg !
I have never eaten outdoors at Il Nido but they have an incredible setup with your own private individual cabana.
Enjoy! I’m looking forward to your review.
Looking forward for a full review on the outside setting as I have booked one for the next night.
Happy anniversary., I know that the food will be great, a bit hesitant about outside dining in November.
Thanks, we got married outside 8 years ago and the weather was in the mid-high 50’s. I don’t remember being cold but probably everyone else was! The weather plunged overnight and we got a heavy frost. We got super lucky!
@paryzer thanks! I recalled reading somewhere about those heated cabanas. Looking forward to it.
@gracieggg@Ragtopssk We’ve dined outdoors at Il Nido many times, most recently week before last. We always sit in the same cabana, which they now know as “our table.” You need to go inside to let them know you’ve arrived, and the hostess will take you to your cabana. They are extremely comfortable, and service is very attentive!
As mentioned, they have propane heaters. So far, we haven’t needed one. But they will bring one out for you if you request it. (My guess is if the temperature is very cool, they may already have put them out there.)
By the way, some of the outdoor tables are not in the cabanas; instead, they are lined up along the front of the restaurant under the building’s overhang. We were told that they are going to install heaters (I presume electric) above those tables, but I don’t know if it’s been done yet. Even so, those tables don’t provide as much protection as the cabanas which have curtains that can be closed on three sides. So, if you want a cabana, I suggest you call and request one.
I’ve taken a number of photos of the outdoor set-up and our table. I’ll search my Flickr albums for them and post them. So, stay tuned!
