What recipies use arrowtooth flounder?

Question

I bought some arrowtooth flounder fillets at the local supermarket, and they turned to mush when I fried them. The taste wasn't too bad but the texture was so disgusting there was no way I could eat it.
An internet search revealed that's what arrowtooth flounder does when cooked so it's considered unusable by the fishing industry. So I printed that article and returned the fish and they gave me a refund, but they said they sell it because it's used in some Latino recipies. I then did another search for arrowtooth flounder recipies, but didn't find any, so I'm asking here.
Was the store manager making that up to try to excuse why they are selling "junk"or "unusable" fish? Or are there really recipies that use it?

Answer 5

My guess would be to either use it in a soup/stew or after it breaks down, mix it with eggs and breadcrumbs and fry it up. I've never even seen arrowtooth flounder but I read up on how it breaks down. Bleh....

Answer 6

I've never heard of it, nor have any of my recipe sites.

I'm still searching...........the only recipe I could find is the one answerer 2 gave (above mine). I did find a chart for fish substitutions, where they grouped similar fish. It also provides cooking methods. I'd imagine if you have a recipe for one of these fish types, you can substitute with the arrowtooth flounder.
This is it~~~~~~>

White meat with a moderate flavor and flaky, tender texture:
(microwave, bake, broil, poach, saute, steam, deep fry, en papillote)

Answer 7

Tender fish like that do best seasoned simply and broiled/baked. Manipulation (like in frying) causes them to fall apart (as you discovered).

Answer 8

I think just recipes for cat food.
