Flounder breaded and pan-fried
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Today we have flounder fried in breadcrumbs in a pan. The dish is very simple and quick to prepare. In my case, the process was slightly complicated because I got starry flounder instead of regular flounder. Regular flounder has delicate skin that only needs to be cleaned of small scales and washed. However, starry flounder has thick skin covered with spines on both sides of the fish. You can't clean this kind of flounder—you simply need to remove the skin. Doing so is easy. Other than that, cooking fried flounder presents no difficulties. Serve hot.
