flounders ?????

[andyco]

filleted, skinned, dipped in egg and flour and fried fast in butter... absolutely superb.

I've had a few cooked just like that off shields beach, and they tasted ok. The first time I made the mistake of seasoning with salt and pepper - won't do that again, the flounder have a peppery taste anyway, and there's no need for extra salt. (the darker brown ones taste like mud, the lighter sandy coloured ones are ok).

I got the Tom Aikens cookbook 'Fish' for Christmas and there's a couple of recipes in there for flounder,

I wouldn't like to try a flounder from the river, when you see all the **** that goes into it.

gave a Tyne flounder to my daughters cat once, next time I gave it one the cat sniffed it and walked away, suspect it brought the other one up somewhere, wouldn't eat anything out the Tyne or Wear

Its catch and release with these fish every time for me. Cannot be bothered to mess around with them.

cheers,

Theres not a lot of difference in the taste between Flounders and Plaice..
Dabs are a lot better and theres nowt beats Sole.....

Sorry mate, I meant I don't know if there's a difference between river flounder or a flounder from the shore. Place is one of my favourite fish :-D
