I like my fish crispy fried. Flounder any good fried? http://www.seastriker.com/video/fgvideo.wmv --Vic You're kidding, right? Flounder is one of the very best table fishes, fried, baked, whatever. "Crispy," though, would be overdone for flounder, in my opinion. I have a friend in St. Augustine, FL, who gigs for flounder fairly frequently inside Matanzas Inlet there. He's a giant guy, and looks like Neptune with his three-tined fork. I tried it a couple of times, was successful once. I've only had flounder a few times. *Always baked. It is a mild fish, which I prefer. Just never heard of fried flounder. I don't care much for tricked out fish, like pompano baked with almonds. *My dad goes for that kind of thing. By "crispy" I mean the breading, not the fish. --Vic I dip flounder in an eggwash, then coat it with Italian bread crumbs, sprinkle on paprika and fry it in peanut oil. When I turn the fish, I sprinkle in a few drops of hot sauce, just a couple of drops. When I was a kid, I use to go fishing about three times a week in the summer in Long Island Sound with the landlord of the cottage we rented, and later bought. He was a retired printer. We'd fish for flounder and porgies. He was a remarkable fisherman, and we always came home with tons of fish. He'd clean them all, and give at least a pound of filets to about everyone in the little neighborhood. Anyway, he and his wife preferred baked fish, and if I was around, she'd invite me in for lunch or dinner. Sometimes she'd stuff the flounder with a little crabmeat from crabs I'd catch with bits of chicken neck. She was a great cook, as were many of the women of her generation. Life certainly was simpler - and a lot safer - in the good old days. Man.... now you've made me hungry for Fish..... |
