TIP: Derek the Chef

Flounder is such a delicate flavourful fish that I like to prepare for breakfast with eggs and twice fried potato but for other meals, I would normally serve it with a side salad; the secret is not to overcook the flounder, dust it well with the seasoned rice flour so the skin comes out nice and crispy.
