Probably so. I've never been able to find fresh flounder at Publix;
it's all been previously frozen. (They're very good about telling you
whether it's been frozen or not.) This is why I double-checked my
statement saying it isn't native. I guess flounder *can* be fished in
these waters, although "southern" flounder is mostly caught off the
coast of Florida. Maybe that's close enough to call it local. Or maybe
they meant it was fried locally.

I can't wait for "St. *Partrick's* Day"! Mulligatawny Soup is on the
menu. Is that Irish?
