An 800g pack of John Dory fillets — the great European table fish, also known as St Peter’s fish (folklore has it the dark thumbprints on its sides are the apostle’s, from when he returned the fish to the water). The fillets have a fine, firm-flaky white flesh and a delicately sweet, melt-in-the-mouth flavour. A premium restaurant-grade fillet at home.
