1 min read

Ingredients:

1 (1-1/2) lb. flounder

Vegetable oil for frying

2 c. flour

2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Garlic-apricot glaze

How to:

Wash and scale the founder. Remove head and gut. Score each side of the fish with a sharp knife in one-inch diamond shapes.

Heat three inches of oil in a deep cast-iron skillet to 335 degrees.

In a bowl large enough to accommodate the flounder, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the flounder in the flour mixture. Deep fry the flounder until golden, 8 to 12 minutes. Drain and spread garlic-apricot glaze over the flounder and serve immediately.
