I do not have a lot of fish recipes. My family is not so much on fish, but this flounder dish is an exemption. They love it so much, we have to have it on our regular rotation. My husband is on a very strict diet, and cooking meals that suit the whole family is a challenge. So I always look for recipes like this. The best part is, you can use whatever fish is handy such as catfish fillets, cod, or tilapia to make this recipe.
