Flounder Fillets
Flounder fillets are a very popular white fish option in cooking due to their soft texture, delicate flavor, and versatility in various preparations. Flounder is a flatfish that inhabits coastal waters of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, especially in temperate and cold zones.
This fish is known for its fine, low-fat, and easily digestible meat, making it an excellent choice for healthy and balanced diets. Furthermore, it is a good source of high-quality protein, B-complex vitamins (such as B12), and essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium.
In different Latin American countries, flounder fillets may be known by alternative names depending on the region. Among the most common synonyms are sole (although technically they are different fish, in some regions the terms are used interchangeably), flatfish, or simply fillets of white fish.
In cooking recipes, flounder fillets are highly valued for preparations such as baked, grilled, en papillote, or breaded, as their light texture allows them to cook quickly and absorb the flavors of spices, herbs, and marinades well.
