The flounder is in a white wine and rich garlic flavored butter that is very much like a scampi stuffing.
The flounder is stuffed rolled up and sprinkled with breadcrumbs and baked.
This whole meal takes around 40 minutes to make and comes out like a 5-star quality restaurant made it!
If you love seafood you can use any thin fish, we are just lucky enough to surf fish here in Florida and this was the fresh catch of the day.
There really isn't anything better than freshly caught ocean fish, but you first have to learn how to clean freshly caught flounder unless you buy it.
There are many fish markets you can purchase flounder in or buy it frozen, you won't get that same fresh taste but it's still will be awesome.

- salt pepper to taste
- dash of cayenne pepper is optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

- Add the seafood medley you're using to the butter then add the parsley and wine.
- Simmer for around 10 minutes.
- On a cutting board take the long piece of fish and add a scoop of this filling on the filet.
