Fabulous Flounder and Mashed Potatoes

It's been a long time! I'm excited to share with you tonight's supper! The recipe actually comes from a dear friend of mine who is no longer alive - but I remember vividly standing in her kitchen as she showed me how to make this dish, from start to finish.The flounder recipe originated in China but I can't remember what she called it, so I'll make up a name ..... "Fabulous Flounder". To accompany it, I made mashed potatoes, and I'll include the recipe for that as well. Please feel free to comment/ask questions. I love feedback.
