This is an excellent flounder cleaning video. It isn't exactly filleting, but it does remove all the bones and makes for a good place for some stuffing.Quote:

Make a first cut down the lateral line from just behind the head to the tail and work down the bone to yield 4 fillets. The fillets are very thin so make sure your knife is sharp and take care when removing the skin to not waste meat.Quote:

Another vote for whole Flounder.
I love them cooked whole or boneless filets. I have never seen one fileted in the manner shown in the video but I would love to eat a stuffed flounder that had been cleaned in that manner. I personally filet them by cutting along the lateral line from head to tail then working out to the sides.
Has anyone ever tried throwing one on the grill? I've only ever stuffed them and put them in the oven or fried the fillets.
I've done it with mixed results. The meat tasted great (I like fish cooked bone-in) but the presentation was spotty. Next time, I'd do it on the flattop grill to minimize the chunks that stuck to the grill and maximize surface area/heat transfer for the sear.Quote:
