Not a Plaice.
« on: September 09, 2013, 07:34:25 pm »
Not a plaice but a 1lb 6oz flounder that my mate caught in Pwllheli harbour today. He noticed that lots of whitebait had come into the harbour and that some mackerel had followed them in. He slung a hand line out with some feathers to try and catch some but instead of mackerel he caught this.
 


 

They haven't got the best reputation as an eating fish, especially if they've been living in a harbour, so how would you cook this? Its now languishing in our fridge waiting for your answer.

I'm so jealous  ;D . I love all flat fish  :yum:  ( except megrim  :P )
 I would grill on a medium heat with some butter for about 4 or 5 mins on each side or until it comes away from the bone without a fight.  Or in the oven wrapped in foil again with butter. About 160 c 10 to 15 mins. Serve with a good sprinkle of salt and bread & butter . No need to bugger up perfection like flat fish with sauces, if you ask me.
