I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
June's Smelly (petrale) Sole
...in your mind.

June's Smelly (petrale) Sole

June used to make this back in the olden days for her 4 kids - Marc, Jill, Ted and Kim (now all adults stinking up their own houses, no doubt). The problem is sole tends to make its presence known during cooking. But that’s OK because it’s way delicious - just don’t make it the day before you have a special event at your house - OK make that 2 days before. But do make it, because it’s great. June says you must use Petrale sole, but unless she’s invited over, you can use whatever sole you like. I like Dover, plus it’s less expensive.

  • 3/4 pound sole
