Yes, I've seen the online videos but its weird...
Someone, if you can post pictures in the coming weeks, post a concise, point to point method, without leaving out any details. (That darned backbone throws my cutting off!)...My biggest is 19" and I mutilated it just like the others. 
Give me a normal round or elongated fish and I can filet blind-folded; give me a flounder and you'd starve! LOL
(I was tickled last time I took my drumming (black drum friend) out in Matgorda Bay, to teach him how to filet a "trash-bag" fish (tripletail)..I had no problem but couldn't muster up a "do-how" with the flounder we caught!)

| I remember when I was 9 years old, and my dad came home with a "monster " five lb flounder. He, too, never knew how to filet but he sure knew how to hunt them! ....We just baked 'em in the oven with healthy stuff like butter and spices! |

Hey Justletmein, here's a little something to make you even hungrier...

Crabn'fisher.. it took me a while to learn to fillet em' properly. Now I can even get the back side of the flounder pretty well. Of course, my favorite way to eat flounder is whole/grilled. Stuffing them is a nice choice also... I just rub the knife down the spine and make some pockets to stuff with chopped shrimp, crabmeat, stuffing, butter, etc.

| I usually follow the bone in the middle, like a deer backstap and work my out, u can do this also to stuff them just dont cut the fillets completly out, open the middle, stuff with ur preferred stuffing stick in the oven or pit and u have the meal for a king. |
