Stuffed Flounder
What's more New England than fish? I've grown up eating lots of fish, and this is one of my favorite recipes. I like to prepare this ahead of time when I'm expecting company. When my guests arrive, I just pop it in the oven and it's ready in 30 minutes.4-6 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min.
