858930 2010-02-21 18:48:00 Went fishing yesterday with a friend (surf casting). Hooked something fairly big, played it for about 10 mins and then the sinker had to get stuck somewhere between two rocks (or similar). Had to break the line, could still feel the fish on the line as the line broke. *Sob*. And it was a big one *Sob*.

I won't be cooking them at all. I don't like them.
Husband was tossing it whole in the pan with butter and drizzling some lemon juice over.
I filletted the last lot and then crumbed them and he did the same thing, fry in butter, drizzle lemon.

I tried a fish pie and I didn't like that any better so he can go back to doing whatever he likes - which will probably be fry, lemon as usual.

I can't begin to imagine flounder in batter! It is a delicate fish, so its taste would be lost with all that batter that will have sucked up whatever you are cooking them in.

Just make up some plain white flour, salt and black or white pepper. Either put it in a plastic bag big enough to hold the fish, and then shake the contents together so some of it coats the fish; or lay the flour mixture in a pan or on a board and flip the fish in it so it gets coated. Shake off any excess, then shallow fry in either olive oil or butter.

I use a cast iron grill pan (the kind with ridges) on top of the stove if the fish is small enough to fit, or if not, use a large frying pan. You have to be really careful not to over-cook it, otherwise you end up with the smashed fish that pctek's hubby seems to produce. And you have to be careful that it doesn't stick to the pan, or you will demolish the fish when you turn it.

I suspect it is crumb coating (that will have soaked up the cooking butter) that will have filled him up, rather than the amount of fish you got off the bone, pctek! If you cook the fish whole, even if it is crumbed, you will only have half the amount of fatty crumbs. Apparently crumbed fish ends up with more fat in it than if it was battered.

If your fish is straight out of the sea, it shouldn't have that fishy smell (if that is the smell that upsets you). We have a local fish market where we get our fish, and it never smells, except faintly of the sea.
