Flounder? (frozen, paprika, broil, tomatoes)

[Johnbiggs]

As I was perusing the seafood aisle at Wegman's today, I saw some flounder and realized I'd never eaten it before. Do you like it?

[sophialee]

I do like it, It's one of the few fish I prefer fried tho. I like it low country style the best.

I like some flounder. There are several different varieties, and one that is often found inexpensively in fish markets is arrowtooth, I believe, and that variety has a texture I don't like at all, mushy and watery and about as flavorless as fish gets.

A lot of flukes & flounders are delicious, though -- very mild white medium-textured fish. The dark-skinned side is pretty easy to filet, as that's where most of the meat is. The white side is the flat side that's on the sand and the filets tend to be very thin.

Yes, I like flounder. I usually bake it in the oven with a little butter and lemon juice.

Yes!! A delicate meat, great taste and not fatty.
Did you get the fillets or a whole fish?

I like flounder as well but only fried, it's a mild fish.

[elnina]

I like pan fried with a crispy skin!

I love fresh flounder! (I'm not a big fan of any frozen fish.) As has been said, it's a very mild, white-flesh fish.

You can make it simply, by just adding a touch of butter and paprika, (along with salt & pepper to taste), and baking or broiling it. Serve with a lemon wedge.

You can add some stewed tomatoes over it and bake.

You could bread and fry it, and eat it with tartar sauce.

You can add spinach and roll it, make a nice white/cheese sauce, and make flounder florentine.

You can stuff it with crab. You can make lemon-pepper flounder.

The list is endless.

Yes, flounder is one of my favorites--partly because it doesn't have bones. I like to cook it in New England style chowder. Very tasty.

^^^ hmmm... flounder doesn't have bones?? Every fish has bones, unless you buy a fillet.
Well, except shark, rays and skates - they have a cartilage skeletons instead of bone.
