Cooking Tips

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the flounder fillets to the skillet. It should sizzle when the fish is added.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet. Cook the flounder in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
• For extra crispiness, you can double coat the flounder by dipping it in egg wash before coating it in the flour mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover fried flounder can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the flounder in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the fried flounder as a main dish with sides like coleslaw, french fries, or a fresh salad.
