THE FLAVOUR OF THE SOLE.–This, as a matter of course, greatly
depends on the nature of the ground and bait upon which
the
animal feeds. Its natural food are small crabs and shell-fish.
Its colour also depends on the colour of the ground where it
feeds; for if this be white, then the sole is called the white,
or lemon sole; but if the bottom be muddy, then it is called the
black sole. Small-sized soles, caught in shallow water on thecoasts, are the best in flavour.
