SOLE COLBERT 4 small Dover or lemon soles, skinned 30 ml seasoned flour 2 eggs, beaten 50-75 g fresh breadcrumbs vegetable oil for deep-frying Maître d’hôtel Butter Remove the black skin by holding firmly at the tail and pull it off up to the head.  Rinse and wipe the soles. With a sharp knife make a cut down the centre of the backbone on one side of the fish. Raise the fillets on this side only away from the bone to form a pocket. With the points of scissors, cut the backbone through just below the head and above the tail, so that it may be more easily removed after the fish is cooked.
