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

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!!

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
