Flounder
Flounder is an unattractive fish. Its head is small, and its body is covered with uneven, brownish skin. But how delicious is its tender white flesh! This fish is quite expensive, and it must be prepared carefully, taking care not to overpower its natural flavor with various seasonings.
How to buy the best one?
To buy the best flounder, look for fish with creamy white flesh. Avoid fish that have a bluish tint or appear too oily.
Preparation
Flounder is easier to prepare if you buy it as a fillet rather than whole. If you buy it whole at a fresh seafood market, ask the seller to fillet it. Don't throw away the fish bones. They can be used to make a rich fish stock.
Flounder is delicious cooked with poached eggs in white wine or grilled. It's traditional to serve it with lemon wedges.
Instead of flounder, sole can be used in cooking.
