Flounder

Flounder is a type of flatfish found in both saltwater and freshwater environments. It is a lean white fish with a mild flavor and flaky texture. Flounder is typically caught wild and then processed into fillets or other cuts for sale.

Flounder is primarily used as a source of protein in seafood dishes. It is often breaded and fried, baked, or steamed. Its mild flavor makes it versatile for various culinary preparations.

Flounder is a nutritious food, providing protein, vitamins, and minerals. Like other fish, it can be a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set specific limits for flounder consumption, but advise consumers to be aware of potential contaminants like mercury, especially for pregnant women and young children. The WHO has evaluated fish consumption and recommends it as part of a healthy diet.
