Flounder

Arkansas Egg

Has anyone here tried flounder filets on the egg? How did you do them?

Here is a method.

Flounder, Prosciutto

Something I have not tried with flounder is to use a bed of scallions (like the Ginger Salmon recipe) underneath the fish. It allows the fish to cook without sticking to the grill. It certainly works with the salmon, it should work with the flounder rolls as well.


INGREDIENTS:
8 slices prosciutto (approximately 2-3" wide)
8 flounder fillets (approx 3-4" wide)
8 small sage leaves
2 Tbs lemon juice
salt and pepper
2 Tbs light olive oil
1 Tbs unsalted butter




Procedure
1 On each piece of prosciutto, lay a flounder fillet
2 Put a sage leaf at one end of each fillet.
3 Mix lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper and paint each fillet with the mixture.
4 Roll up each fillet and secure with a wooden toothpick.
5 Lightly oil the outside of each roll with olive oil.
6 Place on a well oiled grill at 300F for about 8-10 minutes. Rotate the rolls and cook for an addition 8-10 minutes or so.

I tried it last week and kind of went into it blind. I knew I didn't want to have to flip it if possible because Flounder is so thin and flaky. Also, I did not want to overcook the fish.

So I decided the easiest way to do this was to put the fish in tin foil. I put Olive oil along with my seasonings in there with the fish. I cooked direct on a raised grid at 375-400 dome for 3-4 minutes per side. It is easy to flip the fish when wrapped in the foil without worrying about sticking or any of those problems.

Unwrapped and easily peeled from the foil. I was pleasantly surprised. I am not the biggest fish eater, but it was pretty good.

they are very good. It is a very quick cook and you need something to cook it on...it will fall thru the grate when it flakes.

Cooking it direct on a bed of thin sliced lemons works well also

Did you cook something else that night? It seems like a lot of work to get the grill started for such a short cooking time. Also, does fish cooked in foil taste any differently on the grill than in an electric oven? Do you open the foil to let some charcoal flavor penetrate?
