I'd lightly bread and lightly fry a piece of flounder. It really doesn't take much.
Like, dust it with flour, hot oil in a teflon pan (so, you know, hardly any oil at all). Soooooo good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I was wondering whether this would work!
Not only does it work, it has fancy-ass Frenchy Haute Cuisine cred. Or hobo cred, depending on where you want to pitch your ambitions.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
When I do it, I don't fold it closed like a hobo dinner; I just make it a small faux-pan with the "sides" sort of turned up. Enough to contain the fish goo, I guess.

yeah, flounder's so thin that I'd go along with Trudy's pan fry suggestion.

Man, I haven't had good fish in a while. Maybe tomorrow night.
Wrod. Tomorrow for me? Flounder.
(Tonight was the uber-easy-yet-only-recently-discovered-by-me-because-I-have-no-common-sense "burrito" bowl of rice, refried beans, sour cream, salsa, avocado, and underneath it all, a fried egg. Seriously on the egg -- it ties it all together and I am not even kidding.)
How cooked a yolk? If wet I'd want it above the rice. Mmmmm.

I use Steph's methond. But Trudy and Nora are right - it'd be really easy to overcook flounder in the oven.

Overcooked flounder is a crime and a tragedy.
You know, it never occurred to me to do a foil pack in the oven? We did it all the time at summer camp. mmmmmmm

When I was, like, 11-ish I was completely convinced I'd invented cooking en papillote in the toaster oven. I'm not sure if I was more pissed or impressed that it was pre-existing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, it's flounder stuffed with crab meat. So it's not so much with the thin.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
(Eggs are one of those things I could eat every day, along with potatoes, good bread, and sushi. And berries.)
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
