FISH/Detail.aspx">FLAT
FISH are prized for their fine texture and delicate flavor. Some of the better known members of the flounder family are
DAB,
ENGLISH SOLE and
PLAICE. In America, flounder is often mislabeled as fillet of sole- a misnomer because all of the
FISH called "sole" (except for imported European
DOVER SOLE) are actually varieties of flounder. Flounder is available whole or in fillets. It can be baked, broiled, poached, steamed or sautéed. See also
