Directions for Fried Flounder Sandwich

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, paprika, salt, and pepper.

   Bread the Flounder

   Dredge each flounder fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
