I don't see flounder out here, just two types of sole (Petrale and
Dover). I don't like to cook either one, but between them - I hate
Dover because it's just too darned thin. When I cook a white fish,
it's usually cod because it's nice and thick. I know halibut is a
thick flat fish, but I don't like it - which is just as well because
it's expensive. Hubby also loves Dover and Sandabs - but they are too
difficult to cook without breaking AFAIC and I'm not a big enough
lover of eating fish to care about improving my technique. He can
order them in a restaurant and I can order something else. Win-win.
