Fresh Flounder or Flat Fish

To be frank with you , this is the 1st time we had flounder on our dinner table. Thanks to my friend, he is a fish lover, he strongly recommend these fish to us. He is telling us how good or how delicious those fish are. Fine. He got us about at least 1 kg of fresh flounder or flat fish. It is really FLAT.

Take a look at the back & front of the flat fish. Strange looks but very delicious. Although the flesh is very little ( compared to others fish) but it taste really sweet. Later on, I did a small survey on flounder. There are different species of flounder. The fisherman loves these fish because it is abundance & it tastes like the sea. It is so delicious.

We gutted & cleaned the fish. To be honest with you, it has quite a lot of bones.
We need 5 ea of flat fish to feed 2 adults & 1 kid.

Actually, it is very easy to prepare these fish. You can just pan fried it with oil & drizzle some lemon juice or lime juice. Simple & nice.
You can also braised the fish in thick soya bean sauces & it taste fantastic.

Method:

2) Heat a wok, in the ginger + shallots. Slightly brown it.

Let it simmers for a few minutes & reduce the sauce. Decorate with spring onion before serve.
