Fried Flounder

Method

Frying the Flounder

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each flounder fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the breaded flounder fillets in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried flounder from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of French fries or Cajun fries and a sauce of your choice.
