Tips & Tricks for Cooking with Flounder

  • Use Fresh Flounder – Fresh fish has a mild scent and firm flesh. If using frozen, thaw it properly in the fridge overnight.  
  • Prevent Sticking – Flounder fillets are delicate, so use a nonstick pan or well-greased grill to prevent tearing.  
  • Enhance Flavor with lemon juice, butter, garlic, and fresh herbs for fish that complement its mild taste.  
  • Avoid Overcooking by cooking until just until flaky—about 3-4 minutes per side when pan-searing.  

Don’t forget the perfect sides to pair with your meal! Check out Side Dishes for Fish Recipes for easy and tasty accompaniments. If you love flaky, flavorful fish packed with delicious fillings, be sure to check out Stuffed Fish Recipes for more tasty ideas!
