For the Flounder and Cod Fry:
- Set three shallow bowls one with the flour, one with the egg wash and finally one with the Panko.
- Coat the fish first with the flour followed by the egg wash and finally dredged in the Panko.
- Heat a heavy cast iron frying pan with about ¼ to ½ inch of oil.
- Carefully place the fish in the frying pan. When one side is a beautiful golden carefully turn over and finish cooking on the other side. The flounder will cook faster than the cod fish since it is thinner.
