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.
