Ellens Crispy Flounder Fillets Recipes

CRISPY DEEP-FRIED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 200 F, to keep fried fish warm while frying subsequent batches.
• Place the flounder fillets in a shallow baking dish; pour in enough milk or buttermilk to cover the fillets. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix or baking mix and cornmeal; stir to blend.
• In a deep heavy skillet or sauté pan, heat about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil to 365 F (185 C). If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, toss a 1-inch cube of bread into the hot oil. It should turn golden brown in 1 minute.
• Drain the fish using a colander.
• Dredge each piece in the baking mix and cornmeal mixture, coating the fillets thoroughly on both sides. Shake off any excess.
• Add the fish fillets to hot oil and fry.
• Turn once after about 2 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on both sides (about 4 minutes total). Fry a few at a time to keep the oil temperature from dropping. If the temperature drops significantly and does not recover quickly, the coating will absorb more oil.
• Drain the flounder fillets on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt, to taste.
• Transfer the fried fish to a rack in a baking pan and keep warm in the preheated oven for up to 20 minutes, if desired.
• Serve fried flounder hot, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs, if desired.
