Description

Flounder fillets are thin, clean portions of the meat from the fish known as flounder, a saltwater flatfish characterized by its soft texture and delicate flavor. This ingredient is highly valued in gastronomy for its versatility and ease of absorbing marinades and seasonings, making it ideal for baked, grilled, fried, or steamed recipes.

Flounder is native to coastal areas of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and it is also found in the cold waters of the northern hemisphere. Its white, low-fat meat adds a light and healthy touch to dishes, being an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the cardiovascular system.

In different Latin American countries, flounder fillets may go by other common names such as "sole" or simply "flatfish fillets", although the term "flounder" is widely recognized and used, especially in markets and traditional recipes. By incorporating flounder fillets into your preparations, you will enjoy a very nutritious and easy-to-cook ingredient that will enrich any menu with its mild flavor and delicate texture.
