Ina Garten Always Buys One European Fish When She's In Paris

On a July 2024 segment of "Today," Ina Garten showcased some of her favorite Parisian purchases, and among them is a mostly European fish called turbot.
Turbot is mostly found around the Black and Mediterranean seas, and the east Atlantic from Morocco to Norway. It’s known for its white flesh, which boasts a subtly sweet flavor.
Calling it her "favorite fish in Paris," Garten likes to buy her turbot from Paris' Poisonnerie du Bac in the city's 7th arrondissement.
However, expect to pay a premium price for turbot, which can range from €38 to over €50 per kilogram in France (around €17 to €22 per pound, or $15 to $20).
Farmed turbot are generally priced lower, but if you're sourcing them in the United States, even the farmed fish can cost around $47 per pound.
