| Flounder layered with Shrimp and bread crumb filling, with a splash of white wine. It's that time of the year when I love making baked fish, it's one of my favorite ways to prepare it. Baked fish filets are always a better choice than fried for healthier cooking. If you can't find flounder try any kind of mild fish as an alternative. |
