Method

Homemade Pickles

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    In a bowl, mix white vinegar, sugar, salt, dill weed, and minced garlic. Add sliced cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Fried Caper Mayonnaise

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, drained capers, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Frying the Flounder

    Prepare the Flounder

    Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of cornmeal and flour. Dip each flounder fillet first in flour, then in eggs, and finally in the cornmeal mixture.

    Fry the Fish

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry each breaded flounder fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
