Fantastic fried flounder is only one recipe away. Cornmeal, black pepper, and paprika give this fish a crispy crust. Perfect fish for a sandwich with tartar sauce and pickles!

ingredients

2 pounds fresh flounder fillets, or thawed if frozen
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
cooking oil

directions

Skin the fillets if necessary and cut into serving-size pieces.

In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, salt, paprika, and black pepper.

Heat the oil (1/8th-inch depth) in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Dredge the fish pieces in the cornmeal mixture then place in the oil, in batches if needed. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown then carefully turn the fish over and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the fish from the pan and set on paper toweling to drain. Serve hot with tartar sauce and coleslaw, if desired.

  1. whoeveriwannabetoday REVIEW:

    this was great but you can't make it without dipping in egg and milk first; if you don't the cornmeal mixture will NOT stick to the fish. Also, you can add a little old bay to the cornmeal mixture. Serve with cocktail sauce and fresh lemon wedges and even the kids will eat it!

  2. a dad REVIEW:

    This recipe is missing something - the breading did not stick to the fish at all. I would suggest dipping the fish in egg before rolling in the corn meal mixture.
