Step-by-step cooking of fried flounder in a pan:
1. Rinse the fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Remove the gills and rip open the abdomen. Gut the entrails, of which the flounder doesn't have that many. Remove tail, head and side fins as desired. Then rinse the carcass again. Some housewives suggest removing the skin from the flounder, they say, it emits an unpleasant odor. My family and I do not feel it, so I prefer to fry the flounder with her. But if you want to learn how to clean a flounder, then the site has a detailed recipe for how to do it.
2. Place the pan on the stove, add vegetable oil and heat well. This is important because fish should only be fried in a hot pan, otherwise it may stick to the surface. Then place the fish in the skillet, season it with salt, pepper and season.
3. Fry the flounder on one side until golden brown, literally 5-7 minutes. Then turn over to the back side, where cook for the same amount of time. It cooks quickly, so make sure not to dry it out. Serve the prepared fish hot to the table. Usually it is consumed immediately after cooking, because it is in the heat of the heat that it tastes best.
