If plaice (rödspätta) too big - use flounder (skrubba)

One of the most popular flat fish in Sweden is plaice. It is very tasty and there are abundant in southern Sweden. Unfortunately, often one fish is too big for one person to eat. One option that is popular - at least in Skåne - is flounders. They are  slightly smaller and has a sharply skin. Therefore they are often sold skinned.

Today we bought a couple of fine flounders from the fish-truck at Stortorget in Lund.





















We breaded them with flour, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. 

We fried them. They were so big that they got fried in separate pans. We also boiled potato, with shell, from own cultivation.

When the flounders and the potatoes were done it was time to put them on plates and start eating. Melted butter is tasty to pour over the fish. We also had home-grown carrots and peas. I like some ketchup to the fish, but many think it is absolutely wrong.

The fish is not filleted. When the meal is over fish skeleton is left on the plate. Not so beautiful, but it shows that a good meal is finished.
