Golden Flounder Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pour buttermilk in shallow bowl. Add fish filets, turning to coat. Refrigerate for about one hour.
• 2. Mix together flour, cornmeal and seasonings. Remove fish from refrigerator. Shake off excess buttermilk. Roll fish in seasoned corn meal mixture.
• 3. Heat oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees. Drop fish pieces in hot oil and deep fry for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt/pepper, if desired and serve hot with hushpuppies, slaw and your favorite potato.

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks in a food processor or blender. Blend in the salt and pepper. Pour the oil through the funnel in a thin, steady stream with the machine running. Add in the lemon juice. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold in the yolk mixture. Broil the fish about 2 inches from the heat source for about 6-10 mins, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Spead the sauce over the fillets and broil 3-5 minutes longer or until the sauce puffs and browns lightly.

Steps:

• About 45 minutes before serving, in a 12" skillet, over medium heat, in 2 tablespoons butter, cook the onion until tender, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate and keep warm.

• In same skillet, over medium heat, in 1/4 cup butter, fry the fish, turning once, until fish is browned and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Put fish on a platter. Fry until all fish are done.
• To mixture left in the skillet, add lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and bring to just boiling, stirring. Pour over fish. Top with cooked onion and garnish with watercress.
