[Superged]

dont bother just stick them under the grill and the skin will come off easy enough when ready

[mickeythemackeral]

Better to scrape down the fish then up the fish with a tool which has apointy but blunt cerated edge to it !!

skin a flatfish fillet as you would any other fillet of fish.
As MTM says tho; if you de-scale the fish first you can just keep the skin on and eat that too!!

well i found a recipe for flounders


Hot Flounder





Ingredients

/2 lb. boneless, skinless flounder or whitefish fillets, about 1/2" thick, cut into 4 pieces
Vegetable oil spray
1/2 C chopped onion
1/4 C frozen peas
1/4 C sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1 can (7 1/4 oz.) diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp. drained capers
2 peppercorns
2-3 dashes bottled red hot pepper sauce

Rinse fish and pat dry; set aside. Spray a large skillet with vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Add onion, frozen peas, sliced mushrooms and garlic to hot skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside half the mixture to serve on the side. Stir remaining ingredients except fish into skillet and bring to a boil. Arrange fish on top and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove peppercorns before serving

Never tasted Halibut before but i see my local Tesco is now selling frozen fillets of it, but at £5 a pop for smallish fillets. Still must try it someday.

[North-East-Angler]

Jesus! i would say it cheaper to catch it it also gets you out in the freshest of the air lol:)

[Jamie Donnelly]

how on earth are you going to catch a HALIBUT from the shore??

the ships go to the deepest, darkest, roughest part of the atlantic to catch them!!

Jamie

[Livid]

I still wouldn't wanna really pay £5 for 2 tiny fillets.

Wonder how much thon scottish chippy sold their fillets / steaks for when they bought thon big 'un?

[salmonking]

would you scale a flounder?ive never done this.personally,i dont like fish,but when the mrs cooks it she dabs it in peppered flour and fries it off?

[Jamie Donnelly]

no need to scale flounder, i just put under the grill or in a frying pan whole. butter.

serve with lemon, and a butter sauce, with spinach.

I find that most flatties are "soggy" when eaten fresh, you can grill or fry them as much as you like & they still taste "soggy" (much like cod)!
I find that if you take the heads & tails off, stick them in the freezer if only for a few days, when they defrost all that "sogginess" comes out of the meat when the ice melts, & they fillet a lot easier & cleaner!

most flatfish, definatly like to become firm before they are at their best.

[Bradford lad]

Best Way I Think Is Just Fillet Them Pat Driy Put In Lemon Juice Pat Driy Then Dip In Egg And Roll In Bread Crumbs And Deep Fry

[flattiefanatic]

Best thing about flatfish, is that they're about the only fish I can fillet and almost guarantee there will be no bones on the end product.
