How to Cut Flounder to make fillets from it?
Like most other fish, you first have to remove scales if present on them and then remove internal waste materials. Then you have to cut the fish from the center and the backbone and then remove pin bones from it if present. Then you have to cut its fillets. An average-sized flounder can give you a total of four fillets, two from each side.
How to Coat the Flounder Fillets to Make This Delicious Dinner?
For that purpose, you first have to crack an egg in a bowl and mix it well using a spoon or beater. Make a mixture of thoroughly dried breadcrumbs. Then you have to dip your fillets in the beaten eggs followed by a cover of breadcrumb mixture all over it. These breadcrumbs will give an extra crunch to its outside and make it more flavorful as well.
Can You Make this Dinner Without Bread Crumbs?
Yes, you can do so without breadcrumbs as well. You have to season the fillets and let them cook in an air fryer. However, this will not be as crispy as you get with breadcrumbs.
