Popeye's Cajun Flounder Sandwich (1 Viewer)

Yeah, the amount he had seemed about right to me. I like tartar sauce, but not too much of it. The McDonald's fish sandwich almost always has too much.

I'm right there with you on condiments. If they're dripping out the sides its beyond way too much.

Even that, I'd rather BBQ sauce on the side and dip the sandwich in it a bit at a time. That way the bread doesn't get too soggy.

Do you eat pizza with a fork and knife?

Lol, don't put that evil on me.

I'm sorry to hear that but not surprising. When I was a teen and early college years fished Delacroix and Pointe la Hache frequently and caught a few flounder on almost every trip it seemed. I remember one my dad caught that was so large (when he hooked and fought it he thought it was a big ray) it wouldn't fit in the ice chest without folding the tail over.

My BIL fishes around those areas now and rarely catches a keeper....

It's not overfishing:

Hadn't occurred to me that they farm raise flounder, maybe?

I thought the same thing earlier. Restaurants depend on farm raised catfish. Catfish in the wild could never keep up with
demand.

Yeah, I was thinking exactly that a well. A flounder farm would make sense if that's actually what they're using.

Great info, thanks for sharing. Sucks that (if true) it is mostly environmental as that is a much more difficult issue than over fishing....

And that timeline graph totally supports my experience, all through the 80's flounder stocks were above the target....

Tried it, liked it

Loved that it wasn't drowning in sauce

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Can Flounders actually drown?

 

[tomwaits]

Could this be pond raised flounder?

Maybe flounder is not the type of fish, but its "Flounder brand" white fish, or something like that.

perhaps it's a verb and not a noun - maybe it's any fish in struggles

If they're calling it flounder, it's probably flounder. There are many species of flounder, some of which are abundant on the west coast.

For example (per NOAA Fisheries):

Arrowtooth flounder: Abundant from Alaska to West Coast. Not overfished. Good choice for sustainable seafood harvest. Harvest includes commercial trawl.

Arrowtooth Flounder

U.S. wild-caught arrowtooth flounder is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations.
