Turbot
Cooking Context
The word 'turbot' is often used in menus and cooking contexts to describe the type of fish being served.

The restaurant's special today is pan-seared turbot with a lemon butter sauce.
Pronunciation
Pronounce 'turbot' with a silent 't' at the end—say it like 'tur-boh'.

I never knew that turbot was pronounced without the 't' at the end.

Turbot is considered a gourmet fish and is often more expensive than other types.

For our anniversary dinner, we're having the luxurious turbot en papillote.
