Recipe instructions

Step 1
How to fry flounder in flour in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any spices you want. Coriander, thyme, nutmeg, and ground black pepper are suitable for fried fish.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have frozen fish, you need to defrost it before cooking. You can do this at room temperature or by leaving the fish in the refrigerator overnight. Wash the defrosted fish, cut off the fins and tail with a sharp knife or scissors. Scrape the scales from the light side of the fish from the tail to the head.

To do this, make a shallow cut at the tail, pick up the skin and, using a knife, carefully remove it towards the head. After this, rinse the fish under cold water and dry. This procedure can be replaced by marinating the fish for 2 hours in a mixture of 1 tsp. mustard and 3 tbsp. l. lemon juice. This will help remove any possible unpleasant odors.
