Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each flounder fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully add the coated flounder fillets to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fillets from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
