Fried Flounder Sandwich

Chef Bill Smith, Mustache Bill's Diner, Barnegat Light, NJ

 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound of Flounder Filet

  • Flour

  • Milk wash: eggs & milk

  • Bread Crumbs

 

Directions

  • Place the filet of flounder in flour, the flour sticks to the fish.

  • Place the floured fish into the milk wash, which creates a "sticky" paste.

  • Take out of the milk wash and cover the fish with bread crumbs.

  • Put the filet in a deep fryer of a non cholesterol oil; or in a frying pan filled with oil.  When the fish float to the top in the deep fryer, remove them from the oil.   NOTE:  When cooking in a frying pan you'll need to flip the fish from side to side.

  • Place filet on your choice of roll with tartar sauce, top it with lettuce and tomato and you have a fresh fried flounder sandwich. 

  • Add sides of coleslaw & french fries for a complete meal.
