  • First, rinse the fish well under running water to wash off any grit. We'll only use the fillet, so either buy fillets at the store or break down a whole fish yourself — trimming off the fins, tail, and head and peeling away the skin. Cut large fillets in half if that's easier to work with. Season the fish on both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Frying the fish in a coating keeps it juicy and tender inside while giving it that appetizing crisp crust that makes it even more inviting and delicious. Set up three plates or shallow bowls right next to the stove so everything's within reach: put wheat flour in the first; in the second, beat an egg with a splash of room-temperature water until smooth; and fill the third with breadcrumbs. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it to frying temperature (drop in a breadcrumb — it should sizzle). Dredge each seasoned fillet first in the flour, coating all sides, then dip it in the egg wash, and finally press it into the breadcrumbs, making sure every side is evenly coated. Lay the breaded pieces in the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Transfer the fried flounder to a plate and serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
