Premium Frozen Whole Deep-Sea Flounder

Flounder is a deep-sea flatfish: one side dark, one side pale, and a frame that gives up thick white fillets with remarkably few bones. Ours is cleaned and flash-frozen whole so the shape stays intact and the flesh keeps its delicate, slightly sweet flavour.

With moderate fat, the meat stays moist under both fast and slow heat. Score the dark side, pan-fry it crisp, or steam the whole fish with ginger and scallion; braising and roasting both work. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then cook within a day and store the remainder at -18°C.

• Thick white flesh, firm and tender with very few bones
• Cleaned whole fish — complete shape, no trimmings
• Pan-fry, steam, braise or roast whole
• Mild flavour, gentle enough for kids and elders
