How to cook flounder
Flounder cannot be confused with any type of fish, its body structure is too noticeable and unusual. A flat fish with different colors on both sides and eyes on the upper side is easy to cook and very tasty. How to cook flounder quickly, without spoiling the juicy taste and pleasant aroma, we will tell below.
The weight of the flounder can be different, sometimes one kilogram of fish is enough to cook dinner, but more often several smaller fish are needed.
Before cooking, the flounder must be peeled, as a rule, skinning is not required for frying, but if there is such a desire, it is better to do this before baking the fish. Using kitchen scissors, cut off the fins of the washed flounder (usually the fish goes on sale already without a head, but if the carcass is whole, cut off the head first), cut the dark skin off the tail with a sharp knife, grab it tightly and remove it like a stocking. Repeat for the white side of the flounder.

Cut the large flounder into pieces, it is more interesting to cook the small ones whole. Mix the egg, lemon juice, salt and seasonings, coat the flounder on both sides and inside, breaded well in breadcrumbs (or flour, as you like) and send to a heated frying pan with the dark side down. Cook for 5 minutes, turn over, fry over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Serve with boiled rice, potatoes or fresh vegetable salad.
