Country Fried Flounder
Sometimes you crave some good old-fashioned fried fish. You can easily do this while cooking fresh seafood. For those so inclined, fried flounder (or fried fish in general) can be a comforting food. It is very popular in the southern U.S. States. Plus, it is not difficult to make in your own kitchen. This fried flounder recipe is a favorite at Red Lobster. Try it, you may fall in love with it – like thousands of other diners have.
The richness of buttermilk batter coating your flounder makes every bite incredibly moist and extremely satisfying. For an even moister, authentic taste - marinate the fish in buttermilk for one hour prior to frying.
