2 pounds flounder fillets, fresh
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation:

1) Skin fillets. Cut fillets into serving size portions.

PAN FRY:
1) Place flounder in an iron skillet which has been preheated with about 1/8 inch of oil.

Chef's Tip

Marinate the fish in buttermilk for one hour prior to frying for a moist authentic taste.
