Going to try frying flounder for dinner this evening.  I hope all I need is breadcrumbs or panko because that's all I have.  I do have flour and eggs if it has to be coated first.  And I have vegetable oil for frying. So....do I need to coat with egg and flour and can vegetable oil be used for frying?  Anyone use either just panko or basic breadcrumbs for coating and it still tasted good?  Thanks everyone.  I should of thought this out better.

I do it the way my Mom always did it and it's a family favorite for sure

-equal parts flour, panko, and seasoned breadcrumbs...mixed together

beaten eggs in separate bowl

first place flounder in breadcrumb mixture then eggs then breadcrumb mixture again

fry in veg oil on med heat till golden 

place on paper towels to absorb any oil

serve with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce

@ScrapHappy   I use cod when I fry fish, so cannot guarantee your flounder which I believe is also a mild fish, but am not sure how delicate it is.  

When I do a fish fry, here is my method:

1/4 cup cornstarch 

½  cup all-purpose flour

pinch salt

1/4 - ½ teaspoon baking powder 

6 oz. Lager beer, chilled 

Crisco Vegetable Oil

Heat 3/4 - 1" of vegetable oil in a deep skillet until a piece of white bread dropped in it turns golden brown within a minute or two.  (Thermometer = 375º)

Meanwhile, dredge both sides of fillets in cornstarch.

Batter: Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a pie plate. Stir in cold beer to form a batter.  Add cod fillets, turning to coat both sides.

Carefully place away from you, the battered cod into the oil.  Fry, turning once, about 7-8 minutes total time.

Drain on paper towels.

Finely crumbled potatoe chips make a delicious topping for sautéed flounder. Gives it a nice crunch without all the oil.

ever tried crunchy baked? i rub the filets with mayo, then coat in a crumb/panko mixture. bake in oven. turn once. not as greasy, none of the pushing the fish around the pan. its yummy.

I eat a lot of mild white fish and since I can not tolerate greasy food - I often just bake with a coating of mayo spread on top of the fish - add garlic - parsley - whatever  and/or pan fry the fish on med heat without any breading.

Breading can soak up and hold a lot of oil.

@KatieB   Thank you, that's nice to 'hear.'   I'm not cooking much these days, but have always enjoyed sharing recipes.  After all, in most cases, that's how I got them, too.
