Arrowtooth flounder recipes or ideas?!
But as anybody who has eaten it knows, it is a very mushy fish, and is often used commercially in making fish powder. I thawed it before cooking only once and it was almost liquid and unmanageable. It only holds together if I broil it frozen and let it thaw (and presumably toughen) while under the broiler. It tastes delicious.
But I'm wondering if someone else has found a way to cook this really mild but tasty and safe and economical fish. IT is so soft, and that makes it difficult to work with.
Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of it, but it sounds great! I detest mushy fish.
I Googled, and back in 2006 someone else had asked the same question. Here's a link to those answers and recipes.
Also, if you use "recipe arrowtooth flounder" as a search string, there are links you can follow for other sites with recipes, too.
I suspect it has been allowed to be thawed and refrozen.
I haven't used the Arrowtooth but have enough experience with other types of similar flat fish but have found they are best to roll up help together with a toothpick if you wish and poach.
Place in a pan of water and bring to the boil.
Carefully turn, and remove the pan from the heat an cover.
The fish will finish cooking in the hot water.
