Flounder

Store fresh flounder on ice in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Cook within 1-2 days of purchase. Frozen flounder should be thawed in the refrigerator before cooking.

Because flounder is delicate, handle it gently to avoid breaking it apart.

Don't overcook flounder; it cooks very quickly and becomes dry if left in the heat for too long.

Flounder pairs well with light, fresh flavors like lemon, herbs, and white wine.

Overcooking: This is the most common mistake, leading to dry and tough fish.

Using high, aggressive heat for too long: Gentle cooking methods are best for preserving the fish's delicate texture.
